They collaborate closely with the Early Childhood and Family Services (ECFS) and other regional agencies in West Norfolk to cater to the diverse needs of families. Additionally, the St Augustine’s Centre serves as a community hub. The organisation is committed to helping adults, children, volunteers, and employees realise their full potential through its employment structure, activities, and associated programmes and services. The St Augustine’s Family Centre, established in 2007, offers education and childcare for children aged 2 to 5 years, featuring a toddler room, pre-school room, and crèche facilities. The Springwood Family Centre, operational since 2006, provides childcare for children aged 2 to 12, encompassing both nursery and out-of-school provisions, making it an ideal choice for parents employed at the local hospital. The North Lynn Family Centre, opened in 2004, caters to children aged 3 months to 5 years, comprising two baby rooms, a toddler room, and two pre-school rooms. Mr Bee's started as a registered charity in King's Lynn in 1995, primarily focused on family support. What it's like Children, many of whom are learning to speak English as an additional language, develop warm, trusting relationships with staff. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Children who find it hard to separate from their parents are particularly well supported. Their key person remains calm and reassuring and, as a result, children soon settle and enjoy their pre-school experience.

Inspector highlights - Managers and staff are sensitive to the potential effects of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic on children and their families. - The recently appointed acting manager leads her staff team well. There is a clear intent for learning and she oversees the delivery of the curriculum effectively. - All children benefit from an inclusive curriculum. - Staff chat easily with the children. They provide commentary about what children are doing as they pretend to put diesel in their lorry to make it move. - Staff maintain eye contact and show kind facial expressions as they play alongside the children. This helps children to feel secure and confident. Areas to develop - 1 support children, particularly those who speak English as an additional language, to further develop their language skills and give them plenty of time to think, formulate answers to questions and practise their speaking and pronunciation skills - 2 support staff to make the most of teachable moments in order to further extend children's learning, help children to become more independent and support them to begin to resolve their own conflicts. Inspection #10194348 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50171421) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision All children benefit from an inclusive curriculum. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported. Some staff have undertaken specific training, to ensure they offer the best learning opportunities. Outdoor space Children have daily opportunities to play outside, regardless of the weather. They use their imaginations in the well-equipped outdoor kitchen. They dig and scoop up the wet mud into pots, pretending to make cakes. Children learn how to take safe risks and take turns as they climb steps and wait to slide down the slide safely. They pedal their cars around the outside track, learning which way to go to avoid a collision. EAL / language support Children, many of whom are learning to speak English as an additional language, develop warm, trusting relationships with staff. Staff have gathered familiar words in some of the children's home languages and have recently introduced sign language, to support those children who find it harder to communicate. ## Parent Reviews of Mr Bee's St Augustine's 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocIjKzd8BeeJdeeZACRuFDZ7RuTblvB8BZLLX-xYRrEtfZL8Lw=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba3) Martin Greaves 5 years ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURTazQzV1R3EAE!2m1!1s0x47d78b398126e199:0x3990c730593e4f08) Reviews from Google for Mr Bee's St Augustine's.
