Plans have been submitted by Norfolk County Council's children's services to extend Ashleigh County Infant School, in Wymondham, to create a new children's centre and to build a pre-school in the grounds of Hingham County Primary School.
The children's centre, expected to cost �736,000, would provide advice and support for young families on topics such as healthcare and adult education.
It would be constructed onto the east side of the school, consisting of training, consultation and multi-use rooms, as well as toilets and a kitchenette.
