Worth knowing. A ‘consumables fee’ of £2.25 per half-day session will be charged to those who are using government-funded hours. If you pay for your child’s sessions rather than using funding or you claim Early Year’s Pupil Premium (EYPP) funding you will not be required to pay this fee.
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 develop friendships with each other and form strong bonds with staff.
They confidently approach staff for a reassuring cuddle. Those who are new to the setting are sensitively supported to separate from parents and given time to settle.
Children know and follow the routines of the day. They select their name card on arrival, settle on the carpet for group time and keenly line up to go outside to play.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to implement children's individual support plans in order to more swiftly close any gaps in learning n support staff to further enhance their knowledge and skills in order to help children with SEND make the best possible progress.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £19.00 a session still the rate? 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
