Cheeky Smiles Ltd
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Norwich for children from birth to 8+, open 00:00 to 24:00, 7 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2021, though that is 5 years ago now. Open since 2018, with 80 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
Children are happy and settled in the setting. The youngest children clap with excitement as staff sing to them. They are inquisitive and confident to explore the well-planned environment. Older children show good levels of engagement in activities. They invite staff into their games and are confident to tell them what they must do to take part. When their friends approach the activity, they are welcomed and join in too.
Children behave well. They listen to and follow staff's instructions. They understand the setting's routines and, when requested, they promptly tidy away resources.
Children have meaningful conversations with staff at lunchtime. Staff take account of these interactions and children's interests, including when they explore similarities and differences in each other's eye colour. Staff continue their discussions at circle time after lunch to involve all of the children.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- raise staff's confidence and understanding of how to fully extend and inspire children's learning during activities n provide consistent opportunities for those children who speak English as an additional language to hear and develop words in their home language.

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.
