A day nursery in Attleborough for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They take the funded hours. They do not publish prices, so ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2023. Open since 2013, with 40 places.
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 are warmly greeted by staff upon arrival. Those who are less confident to leave their parents are given reassurance and time to separate. Staff plan and provide a varied curriculum to meet children's needs, both inside and outside in the nursery garden. Children explore the environment with confidence and self-select activities that staff have put out for them.
Staff model expected behaviours. As a result, children learn to say 'please' and
'thank you', be kind and be considerate to their friends. Children understand routines and learn key independence skills in readiness for their move to school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance and embed supervision arrangements, so that staff receive support, coaching and appropriate training in order to further develop their personal effectiveness n engage more closely with parents in order to keep them better informed about their children's learning and development and to promote healthier eating practices in the setting.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
