Jubilee Pre School

Weekly signing lessons and stepping-stone play gave Jubilee Pre School's July 2025 provision a recognisable character: communication and physical confidence developed alongside children's own interests. The setting operates at The Jubilee Village Hall in Bognor Regis and has 38 places in total.

Ofsted rated Jubilee Pre School Good on 14 July 2025 and found safeguarding effective. Children attending at that time were aged two to four. The strongest practical detail was the way staff adapted reassurance to individual children rather than using one settling response for everyone.

In July 2025, learning followed children's development, interests and family experiences. The early years foundation stage sets the framework for children's learning, development and care; here, play included number recognition, conversation and physical activity. Staff extended older children's interest in counting by helping them connect numbers with their meaning.

Weekly signing tuition covered animals and colours, giving children another means of communication. Staff also left space in conversations for children to think before answering. Stepping stones offered a concrete physical challenge, with children practising balance and jumping between them.

Children helped tidy their surroundings. Their family cultures and heritage also informed experiences, bringing similarities and differences into everyday learning. These were practical ways to connect the day with children's lives beyond the setting.

At the July 2025 inspection, Ofsted found that children made good learning progress and that support for children with SEND and children learning multiple languages was effective, including collaboration with parents and outside professionals and use of additional funding.

In July 2025, picture boards helped children express snack preferences and understand when outdoor play could begin. Reassurance was tailored to each child, and children sought comfort and help from staff. Parents received daily feedback alongside regular meetings with their child's key person, providing both immediate updates and time for fuller discussion.

Leaders supported staff wellbeing and teamwork. There were, however, two weaknesses in everyday guidance: explanations of time could be too advanced for children, and staff sometimes missed the early stages of disagreements between older children. Both matter because children need understandable help with routines and relationships.

The address is The Jubilee Village Hall, Elmer Road, Bognor Regis, PO22 6HY. In July 2025, opening hours were 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday, during term time.

At that time, the setting received funding for free early education for children aged two, three and four. That dated funding position belongs alongside the term-time opening pattern when families consider how care would fit their week.

• Understanding routines. In July 2025, explanations about time were sometimes beyond children's developmental understanding. Look for simple cues that help a child understand what happens next.
• Managing disagreements. In July 2025, older children needed more effective help when minor conflicts developed. Timely adult guidance matters as children learn to resolve differences.
• Planning attendance. The July 2025 opening pattern was term time, Monday to Friday. At a visit, what current booking and funded-hours arrangements would fit your family's week?

Jubilee Pre School merits consideration for families drawn to play shaped around children's interests, signing and close communication with a key person. The July 2025 picture is positive, with clear strengths in individual reassurance and practical communication support. Its term-time pattern at that date would suit families organising care around term dates; support with routines and disagreements deserves attention alongside those strengths.
