Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
15 hour and 30 hour entitlement; 15 hours the term after their 3rd birthday; some children entitled to 15 hours following their 2nd birthday.
Worth knowing. We offer the 15 hour and 30 hour entitlement without any additional charges. At Treehouse this is delivered as three 5 hour mornings, from 08.30-13.30. The 30 hour entitlement is for working parents of two, three and four year olds and this is offered as five 6 hour mornings, from 08.30-14.30.
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
Staff create a welcoming environment, greeting children with warmth and genuine interest. Children build strong, caring bonds with staff, helping them to feel valued and creating a smooth, positive start to the day. Staff encourage children's independence and self-care skills. They teach children routines, such as putting their belongings away, changing their shoes and finding their name card to selfregister on arrival. Staff guide and support children with practical skills, such as learning how to pour their own drinks at snack time.
Staff have created a quiet area where they teach children calm breathing techniques. The morning welcome song encourages children to share how they are feeling, helping them to identify, understand and process their feelings. Activities such as these help to support children who struggle to regulate their emotions.
Children's behaviour is good. Staff consistently model calm behaviour and praise children's positive choices. This creates an environment where children understand the rules and overall expectations.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- adjust the organisation of activities to minimise long wait times for children who struggle to focus for prolonged periods.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £38.75 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.
