What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
All children are eligible to receive Government funding the term after their third birthday. We also accept workplace childcare vouchers and 2 year old funding.
Worth knowing. Sessions must be paid for even if the child is absent and only one session can be had in a day although extended care is possible and charged hourly.
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 show that they are happy and enjoy their time at the nursery. Staff support new children to settle effectively. They offer toys and resources that they know children will enjoy and provide reassurance and responsive interactions.
Children form close, respectful relationships with staff and highlight that they feel safe and secure while in the staff's care. Children enjoy listening to stories read by staff. They keenly experiment with musical instruments, listen in awe and join in with the actions as a member of staff plays familiar songs on a guitar.
Children increase their confidence as they explore their environment. Staff supervise children well as they make choices for themselves about what they would like to do. Children find toy trains and excitedly tell adults when they notice the passing train out of the window. Children experience spontaneous opportunities to practise their turn-taking skills. For example, they share out the play food as they take part in an imaginary picnic. Staff manage children's behaviour appropriately.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance staff's teaching strategies so that children have more opportunities to think about and respond to questions and develop their problem-solving skills n continue to strengthen partnership working with parents and develop highly successful strategies that engage all parents in their child's learning in the nursery and at home.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
