Easy to reach from across Norwich
Located at Norwich County Hall just outside the city centre, we serve families who live nearby, those who work at County Hall and those who commute into Norwich.
We’re open 7.30am–6.30pm, with early drop-off and late pick-up available to give greater flexibility to working parents.
You’ll find us on the County Hall site. For sat navs and online maps, please use the postcode NR1 2DH. Please don’t follow directions to Harriet Court (NR1 2DG), the care home in the building above us, as there’s no car access to the nursery from there.
The way in by car is through the main County Hall gates, off the A146 Martineau Lane/Trowse roundabout.
Keep to the left-hand lane and stop at the security kiosk to let them know you’re visiting the nursery. Then go straight over the mini roundabout and follow the road around the main car park. Carry on up the hill, following the signs for the annexe, until you see a grey portacabin and a sign for the laboratory. Keep going straight on, past the grey portacabin on your left and then a red brick building.
You’ll then see two gravelled parking areas on your right. The second one is our nursery drop-off zone, and you’re welcome to park there. From there, follow the wooden boardwalk down through the trees to the nursery. When you reach the gate, press the intercom on the right and we’ll do a quick security check before letting you in.
If you have any questions or get a bit lost on the way, just give us a ring!
Transparent and affordable fees
We offer funded childcare for eligible families from the term after their child turns 9 months, including the Working Parent Entitlement of up to 30 hours per week over 38 weeks of the year. To better suit working families, we typically stretch this funding across 48 weeks, providing around 24 funded hours per week, subject to the annual entitlement.
As a guide, a child using 24 funded hours and attending three full nursery days per week (8am to 6pm), including six additional hours along with nursery meals (including a hot lunch and afternoon tea), would typically pay around £84–£90 per week during funded weeks, depending on age.
We offer a range of session patterns, including full days and shorter sessions, to suit different childcare needs. Early starts from 7.30am and later collections until 6.30pm are also available at an additional charge.
We do not make additional charges for outings, most consumables or the other learning experiences included in our sessions.
