They'll turn up - you just need to be patient - at this time of year most frogs spend very little time in the pond, preferring long damp grass and undergrowth, log piles etc. They'll probably find your pond next spring
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I agree with the idea of herbs in pots. Rosemary blooms in winter/spring. Thyme is loved by bees. Wild marjoram is one of the best plants all around for insects. Hyssop is easy and in bloom now, loved by bees and butterflies. Also if you want a small tree, a flowering crabapple. Some stay quite small and can live in containers.

If they don't, a jam jar full of frogspawn next spring will kick start it for you.
