I planted some spring bulbs about a month ago - planting them at the depth
which it said on the packet.
They have come through already - some by as much as half an inch.
Should I cover them up with compost; move them in to the green house and
protect from frost; just leave as they are; or any other suggestion.

I would leave them where they are now. It can't hurt to cover them with
compost though.
I am sure as can be that they will be fine.
Last winter was the hardest, longest and coldest in my life and I lost
every "hardy" veg, but the daffies and tulips came up as normal.
My established daffs were showing in Sept. this year and I have complete
confidence that they will be fine.
Best wishes

December 26th 1962 temperature went below freezing in the evening
Easter 1963 temperature went above freezing for the first time and it felt
warm.

I remember digging mobile greenhouse plots wearing shorts, the sun was
out and it felt warm even though it was still below freezing, at the
time we lived in Hastings
