A day nursery in Thetford for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in March 2025. Open since 2015, with 33 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
Children thrive in this highly engaging and motivating nursery. Staff engagement with all children is extremely positive and warm. This helps children to feel safe, welcomed and loved. Children form close relationships with their peers. They are kind, and their behaviour is extremely positive. They demonstrate high levels of self-esteem and confidence. Children participate in daily yoga sessions, which helps them to develop strength, flexibility and focus. Alongside this, children are introduced to positive affirmations that promote positive thoughts and feelings.
This helps them to develop resilience to overcome challenges and remain calm in any conflicts.
Children are extremely well prepared for starting school. They are helped to become independent and develop self-care skills right from starting as a baby.

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.
