MR BEE'S FAMILY CENTRE (KING'S LYNN) TRUSTEES REPORT ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE - contlnued Centres reflerted on the changes required during the pandemic and the impart these changes had on the day to day runnin8 of the centres particularty around access to buildings and worked hard to return to a more welcoming environment while still maintaining safety measures. This ensures good relatlonships between the home 2nd the nursery are maintained. Children now participate in longer distance walks in the local environment after the pandemic. As the National childcare staff shortages continue, Centre Leads have had to reduce the numbers of children in our North Lynn and St Augustine's Centres in the Barnabee. Debee and Bebee rooms. As and when new5taff are employed, the numbers in each room will resume. Our Senior Early Years Professional, as part of Decan meetings. is bidding for fund5 to promote healthy livin8 sessions to follow on from the North Lynn dental project in partnership with two other nurseries to raise awareness of importance of healthy eating to support good dental hygiene and the aim to Feduce cavities in young chlldren. Senior Early Years Professlonal worklng closely with the St Mlchael'5 Family Centre and partners to deliver The Hungry Caterpillar story sacks to families to work beside the healthy living sessions. All three centres continue to use the Wellcomm speech and language toolkit to support with early identification of delayed language skills earlier which is evident in increasing numbers of children sincethe pandemic. All our centres have the Safer Program certification for successfully attaining the recommended safeguarding children procedural standards. STAFF REPORT AND UPDATE Childcare Staff Team,. The aims and objetts are consistent across all three centres wlth each centre maintaining its uniqueness. Each childcare team is settled with more normal dayto day attivities returning after the pandemic. Staffing continues to be difficult as previously stated due to the National shortage of childcare staff which has led to a reduction of numbers in the rooms to ensure adult child ratlos are maintained. This said, the teams are forming and developing their environments In line with communication friendly sp3cÈs and the curioslty approach theories. The curiostty approach encourages'thinkers & doers, and meets the EYFS child-led curriculum, allowing the child to be at the centre of their own development and education. Our chlldcare rooms are slowly removins modern toys and technology from the learning environment and replacing them with everyday items to encolrrage children's natural curiosity and eagerness to explorÈ and create.

Bees Knees Café has closed due to the decreasing dernand and the café staff deployed to our North Lynn and Springwood Centre to continue to cook hot meab for the children. The refurbÉshment of the Springwood kitchen was made possible by the donation of a kltchen from MKM and fundraising across all three of the centres as outlined below. In February 2023, wlth the retirement of the Maintenance Supervisor. a review of this role, tasks and responsibilities took pla resulting in streamlined services to include the use of outslde contractors and making use of community resources and at times, the goodwill of staff members, family, and the local communlty to support with financial restraints. Partnerships with Community Payback continue to grow as they continue to SUPPOrt with the developmentand maintenance of our St Augustine's Centre and the community gardens which includes the development of a rneadow and wooded area.

Local Health Team; The childcare staff have regular dialog with the loGI health team to plan and implement learning acttvities for those most in need as well as plan reviews for the children12-year check5). FINANCIAL REVIEW / PLANS FOR THE FUTURE The accounts have been finalised for the year ending 31 March 2024and Independently examined. We have been ableto continue to claim funds for 2-, 3- and 4-year-oldsand Norfolk County DECAN/quality grants have a150 been successftjlly made to support some specific enhanced provision projerts for example to provide healthy eatingjlivlng sessions to the local community and the development of a Family Lounge dedlcated to under S's feeding. We continue to successfully build on the occupancy and tenancy in the offices and rooms at St Augustine's and welcome the Family Hub Start for Life programme. The programme will provide support to parents and carers, so they are able to nurture their bables and children, improving health and education outcomes for all. It will contribute to a reduction in inequalities in health and education outcomes for babies, children and farnllies acros5 England by ensuringthat support provided is communicated to all parents and carers, including those who are hardestto reach and/or most In need of it and build the evidence base for what works when it comes to improving health and education outcomes for bables, children and families in different delivery contexts. We are still seeing the rislng costs of providing qvality childcare. again it has been a difficult year to balan the demands of the cost of our childcare service against the revenue available from the Bovernment funding and childcare fees. We have had a successful year in fundraising for some irnprovements across the childcare 51tes. We were successful this year in retalning some charity reserves and go intothe new financial year with a sense of optlrnism. All staff have worked extremely hard in providing cost effettlve care and education and cost efficiehcies. The Finance team continue to review and develop the robust financial systems already in place along with our independent examiners. staff wages have been reviewed in light of the National Minimum and Ltvlng Wage increases resulting in all staff having a pay increase, in line with the NMW and NLW.
