About this day nursery

Mr Bee's North Lynn Family Centre has been a prominent provider of early education and childcare in King's Lynn since 2004, catering to children aged 3 months to 5 years. The centre is structured with dedicated rooms for different age groups: Bebee and Debee for babies, Barnabee for toddlers, and Tobee and Febee for preschoolers, each designed to foster exploration, imagination, and constructive play.

Led by Lisa Webster, who has been with the North Lynn team since 2004 and became Centre Lead in 2010, the nursery prides itself on its highly qualified and experienced Early Years Practitioners committed to delivering exceptional care. The facility is conveniently located on the North Lynn Industrial Estate, offering easy access for working parents and close proximity to local recreational areas like Lynnsport.

The centre also provides full-day care and accepts various government funding options for eligible children, including 15 and 30 hours for 2, 3, and 4-year-olds. They align their term dates with Norfolk County Council and close for bank holidays, three annual training days, and between Christmas and New Year.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children, particularly those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are well supported. Staff provide children with additional focused activities, in small groups, to close the gaps. Where further or external support is needed, staff are swift to work in partnership with other professionals in order to give children the best opportunities to develop.

Outdoor space

The inspector observed staff interaction with the children, both inside and outside, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.
