Quince tree

I have a young vranja quince that was planted 3 years ago. It has never had any blossom on it. I was hoping that this year would be different but still no flowers. There is plenty of leaf buds but that is all. I would love some advice please and also how and when do you prune it.

Quince produce flowers when they've got their leaves well developed, so I wouldn't expect it to flower until around May.
Quince don't need much pruning - they are tip bearers so if you shorten the branches you are removing the wood which would otherwise produce the flowers and fruit. I would leave it alone, removing only the occasional weak spiondly branch or any branch which rubs on another.
