A pre-school previously deemed satisfactory has been judged as 'good' by Ofsted.
Lisa Smith, the leader of Handsworth Pre-School, based at the United Reform Church in Malvern Avenue, Highams Park, has praised staff who "worked extremely hard" to make improvements.
Inspector Jill Nugent visited the pre-school on September 17.
The school currently employs six staff and looks after 27 children aged between two to five.
The school was commended for responding to individual learning needs, a sensitive approach by staff, children's self confidence and its strong partnership with parents.
