  • Good Manors Day Nursery Manor Lodge, Fareham
Located in the heart of the community, Good Manors Day Nursery Manor Lodge provides a warm and welcoming environment for all children to learn and grow. The nursery is situated in the market town of Fareham. The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.

The nursery is made up of three unique rooms with space for children to explore at their own pace. Each room has been carefully planned to provide a natural environment with a range of age-appropriate resources for the children to engage with.

Learning for younger children focuses on building the children’s sensory skills as well as engaging in a variety of activities to extend all areas of learning and development. In the Pre-school, the children are encouraged to choose their own activities to support independent learning and to build confidence, ready for the transition to school.

The nursery has a large secure garden that includes a sand pit, water play and mud kitchen. There is also an area for the children to explore the world around them, with a bug hotel and a vegetable patch. The outside space also houses a space called “The Lodge Pod” where children can continue their learning, with activities such as mark making and arts and crafts.

We couldn't be happier with Good Manors. Our baby has settled in so well and absolutely loves going each day. The sensory room and baby unit are fantastic and he loves exploring them each day. The staff are brilliant with him and it's clear they really care and love having him there. He goes in every
morning with a big smile on his face, which says it all! We're so grateful to have found such a lovely and happy environment for him. We love the daily updates about his day.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
While we greatly value the nursery itself, with its exceptional teachers and facilities, the approach of the higher management has become increasingly concerning. The recent policies and terms imposed by the new management appear excessively corporate and commercialised, often disregarding the interests
of families.
There is no adjustment in fees during holiday periods, and parents are still required to pay full fees even in the event of an emergency closure. One would reasonably expect that adequate insurance or safeguards should be in place to protect families from such financial burdens. Instead, the entire cost is passed on to parents, who are already paying exceptionally high fees.
This practice feels deeply unfair and places families under unnecessary pressure, undermining the otherwise positive experience provided by the dedicated staff.

Two of my children go to Good Manors; one is about to start school and the nursery have been instrumental in getting her ready for this next challenge! All the workers in pre-school have encouraged her independence while still providing lots of support. She left the nursery a couple of weeks ago and
she still talks about the individual nursery workers every day. My younger child is 3 and has been at the nursery since she was in the baby room. She has absolutely flourished there and is still absolutely loving every single day there.

As Amayah's time at preschool comes to an end, I wanted to express how incredibly grateful we are for everything you've done. Your support and understanding of Amayah's unique needs have made such a difference. Seeing her grow in confidence and happiness under your care has been truly heartwarming.
We
will always remember the kindness and patience you showed her. Thank you for creating such a positive and nurturing environment. We are so thankful for your dedication and I know Amayah will miss you all dearly.

Our daughter has absolutely loved her time at Good Manors. She has learnt so much, made wonderful memories, and built beautiful friendships. The staff are genuinely caring, attentive, and fun, and always bring out the best in the children. We've really valued the regular updates via the app, email,
and at pick-up, sharing everything she has been up to, as well as the lovely outings to the soft play, library, and pantomime - such thoughtful experiences that give the children a real sense of community. The food has also been fantastic, and our daughter always ate so well there! We are so grateful for everything Good Manors has done for her, and would recommend them without hesitation.

Both of our children have flourished here, starting at one year old and leaving into their early school years. They have learnt so much in what feels like a very short time. The staff are always letting us know progress, or things to keep an eye on. The best thing for them is they have learnt friendship,
and teamwork with their peers. As previously said the staff do know the children very well.

My 21 month old son has been at Good Manors for 2/3 days a week since May 2024. We are really impressed with the profesional and friendly staff who really get to know our son and support him. The staff keep us fully up to date with what he is doing which really reassures us. Our son loves going and
comes home happy every day. We are bringing our son up bilingual (English/Spanish). The nursery staff are learning songs and key phrases in Spanish that my son learns at home, I never would have thought the staff would be able to add this to his day and support his development. My son also has a visual impairment and the nursery staff have been very supportive and responsive for any extra needs he might have. Finally, the homemade food provided is really nutritious and my son tires lots of new things!

I have 3 children who have all been to good manors at different times. My eldest is now 6 and my middle child is 3 and my youngest is 1. I felt very anxious at first having to go back to work and finding a nursery, but good manors have always been so proactive in making the nursery a comfortable place.
I felt very supported going back to work and felt my children were always well looked after. I would really recommend this nursery. 5 stars from me.

Our son absolutely loves Manor Lodge! The staff are so friendly and attentive and are truelly genuinely invested in each child's development. We've been so impressed by his progress since he's been with them. He's never had a bad day and always comes home happy and full of story's from the day.


We

love that the nursery encourages families to get involved at various events held on site. The food is varied and interesting which helps us at home when introducing new foods. I also enjoy that the team are really proactive at celebrating different cultures and regularly have days dedicated to festivals/celebrations/cultures.


If I was going to split hairs I'd say that it'd be good for the kids to get outside a little more and to have structured activities for their outdoor time eg. Building/gardening etc However I appreciate that the layout of the building makes the practicalities of that tricky.

Manor Lodge is a wonderful nursery with amazing staff who the children are really fond of. It is a lovely setting and they have a brilliant garden space which is well-used throughout the year. Activities are varied and they even go on outings to feed the ducks, visit the local library etc. Both children
have been really happy here and we couldn't have asked for more in a nursery. We are so grateful to the staff for working hard to provide a fun, safe and nurturing environment for the children in their care. We have been part of the nursery for around 7 years as both our children attended from being babies. Our youngest is now off to school and we will all miss Manor Lodge!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.906)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.906) out of 10 for Good Manors Day Nursery Manor Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.906 for Good Manors Day Nursery Manor Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (256 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.906
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Good Manors Day Nursery Manor Lodge is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
