The nurseries, formerly operated by Great Yarmouth Community Trust, reopened last week after the council set up a new company called NCC Nurseries Limited to run them. 

Staff previously employed by the trust at these establishments have been offered jobs with the new company, the council said.

Parents should be able to access the same nursery provision hours their children were previously entitled to, it added.

We know it is a valued and key part of the community for children and parents.”
