Alpha Nurseries Closure - Support for Families
Norfolk County Council's Family Information Service (FIS) is available to help any families affected. FIS offers free confidential, and impartial information about local services and support for children aged 0-19 years (or up to 25 for children with special educational needs and disabilities). It also matches families up with alternative provision in the local area.
The council is also working with other providers to see what further support might be needed in each area.
The council is responsible for making sure there are enough childcare places in the area, it does not run nurseries itself nor own any nursery sites. Alpha is a private business and the council had no role in the closure.
For anyone having difficulty finding childcare, please do contact our Family Information Service outreach team on 0344 800 8020, email fis@norfolk.gov.uk or visit www.norfolk.gov.uk/fis. Our family information officers will offer support to help you find the childcare that meets your family's needs.
