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. They benefit from an interesting and varied range of resources that promote all areas of learning, both indoors and outdoors. Staff plan playrooms thoughtfully, to support children to engage in purposeful play.
Children thoroughly enjoy their time in the setting. They come in readily and eagerly go off to find their friends. Children build strong emotional attachments to their key person and other staff. They are helped to develop the confidence to cope with new experiences. For example, some children confidently came over to chat to the inspector and invited her to read to them. Children are developing a love of books and communicate well.
Children demonstrate a good motivation to play and learn. They are actively engaged in activities and enjoy staff's interactions with them. Staff join in activities and know how, and when, to extend children's learning. For example, when children are banging on musical instruments, staff give children time to explore the sounds before joining them and teaching them how to use the instruments in different ways. Children learn how to make sounds loudly, quietly, fast and slow.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- give children time to think and respond to questions n explore further ways to share information with parents about what children are doing in the setting n involve parents in decisions about how the early years pupil premium funding for their children is spent.

Still missing for Time Childcare
- Nappies
- Waiting list
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £49.50 a day 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.
