GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Spruce Avenue, Ormesby for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 17:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2025. Open since 2002, with 68 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
Leaders plan a broad curriculum focusing on children's self-awareness and recognising and understanding their emotions. Staff consider children's developmental stages and interests when planning activities. There is plenty of opportunity for children to lead their play. For example, children readily access a wide range of mark-making resources. In the garden, children continue creative activities while others develop strength in their large muscles as they run and climb on the hill.
Children behave well. Older children understand the daily routines and listen well to instructions from staff. Children play cooperatively with their friends. Staff provide many opportunities for children to learn how to share and take turns. For example, they ensure that each child can share their thoughts about the feelings of a bear in a story with the rest of the group. Children show that they feel safe and secure in the environment and form strong attachments to staff, who are both affectionate and responsive.
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive tailored support to help them progress in their learning. Staff understand what each child can do and what they need to learn next. They work closely with parents and other professionals to ensure that children receive the support they need. Additional funding is used well, for example, to provide children with one-to-one time with staff.
What Ofsted told them to improve

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.
