OutstandingBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Norwich for children from birth to 5, open 08:30 to 16:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in September 2024. Open since 2009, with 24 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Norfolk
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Norfolk from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
The provider has built a dedicated and knowledgeable staff team who are fully committed to providing a wonderfully nurturing, homely and warm nursery where children flourish. They implement an inspirational curriculum that is built around
Montessori principles. All staff receive the specific support that they need to enable them to fully understand and successfully deliver the exacting curriculum intentions.
Staff provide an exceptionally calm and well-ordered environment and simple, predictable routines that create a safe and consistent experience where children swiftly grow in confidence. Children quickly gain the skills necessary to independently wash their hands, select their activities and dress themselves. They display exceptionally high levels of well-being and become deeply involved in their play. Children demonstrate immense pride in how they care for their environment as they diligently ensure that toys they have finished with are carefully returned for the next child to use.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
