  • 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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a fantastic nursery which both of our girls (now 2 and 3) have been attending since they were around ten months old. The staff are very caring and take a genuine interest in the child’s development and learning and update us daily. This means we can continue to build on what they are learning
during the day when they come home and discuss what they have been doing and feel part of it.
The management has been superb throughout the pandemic, working so hard to provide continued service with clear instruction and reassurance messages to maintain safety for the children and the staff. We are so lucky to have found this excellent team who are completely deserving of their outstanding status.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Manor Lodge (Good Manors) is an excellent nursery. My child has been there for three years now and he absolutely adores it.
The staff are wonderful, engaging and always happy to answer questions or have a chat about any concerns. The facilities are excellent, in particular, the outdoor space with lots
of different activities and equipment to keep them busy. I really like the frequency with which I get updates through the app every day and the chance for us to share what we've been up to at home.
My child has thrived from being at Good Manors at Manor Lodge and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

My daughter has been attending Good Manors for just over eight months. We’ve been impressed with how much she loves going, she’s learnt a lot and the staff are so friendly. Always coming home with crafts she’s made, treats she’s decorated or a self-painted card! The staff are really good at keeping
records of my daughter's day and provide plenty of pictures so I don’t feel like I’m missing out on what she’s been up to. They’re a really lovely and understanding nursery.
I’ve only ever had one or two minor issues such as belongings not being sent home or a thicker coat not being worn on a windy day but the staff are so apologetic and ensure it never happens more than once.

My daughter started going to Good Manors at Manor Lodge in January 2022, as a first-time mum I was very nervous about leaving my 11-month-old daughter when I went back to work but we had 3 settling in sessions and I could stay for the first sessions but I didn’t need to! My daughter crawled off and
went to play with the other children and that is when I knew I had picked the right nursery.
It has a lovely homely feel to the place, lovely big garden and the staff are really kind and caring. When I drop my daughter off twice a week she puts her arms out for the member of staff and waves me goodbye!
It has really helped me transition back to work knowing my daughter loves going to nursery and I feel happy knowing she is being well looked after. I receive a daily report of what she has been up to as well as highlighting any milestones and learnings, it includes what she has eaten and nappies. Would really recommend Good Manors.

I am really happy with this nursery and my 18-month-old daughter always has a brilliant time there. They do so many activities with them and lots of garden time and I especially love the updates I get with photos at the end of the day. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming, I would highly recommend!

Our children have been attending Good Manors at Manor Lodge since they were 9 months old. The staff are amazing and feel like part of our family. The children are excited to go to nursery each day and love all of the activities and experiences that they get to enjoy during their sessions. The online
diary helps us to keep track of progress and we love hearing about the 'Golden Moments' throughout the week. We would definitely recommend this nursery.

My daughter has settled into nursery really well. We believe that is down to the excellent staff. We are really happy with the entire service. One minor point, if we could possibly expedite the morning drop off, sometimes if only one person can be time-consuming but appreciate it is difficult.

Wow! This nursery has gone above and beyond in recent circumstances.
My son is now in the final 6 months of attending this setting before going to primary school.
The staff have been incredibly supportive and management flexible and great with communication in regards to keeping parents up to date
with changes occuring due to Covid-19.
They rightly deserved their recent Ofsted inspection of Outstanding.
The garden has been updated recently and there is often evidence of investment in the preschool with new toys/furniture and technology.
The nursery give both a verbal handover and an update on an app.
I will recommend this child care setting to any parent looking for a nursery/preschool environment for their child to attend, with a great nurturing and learning structure from 3 months to 5 years.

Both my daughters attend Manor lodge, and I have seen them thrive, both physically and academically. All the staff are extremely friendly, professional, approachable, caring and nothing is ever too much. My children both happily go into the setting, and some days don't want to come home.

Our daughter started attending Good Manors at 11 months. She settled in extremely quickly and we noticed her development coming on in leaps and bounds. She was immediately more confident, independent and curious. The care and attention given to each child is unrivalled and our little girl loves going
to nursery to play and learn and what a comfort that is to us. The management have gone out of their way to help us through a recent tragedy and I am forever grateful to all the staff.

My daughter has been attending Good Manors since she was 9 months old. She is now in her last few months here as she will be going to school and we both will miss it. My daughter has had a great experience within all sectors of the playgroup and I feel at ease when leaving her here to go to work.
They have a wonderful garden and always try and encourage the children to explore and play. The staff are very caring attentive with all children and I feel my daughter has blossomed as a result of attending this nursery.

My daughter has been attending the preschool room at Manor Lodge since September 2019 - the staff made her feel very welcome and she thoroughly enjoys her time at Manor Lodge.
The staff communicate well, provide regular updates on my daughter's learning/progress, the facilities are excellent with new
toys recently provided and the garden refurbished! My youngest daughter is going to be starting at Manor Lodge shortly in the baby room. I would highly recommend Manor Lodge!

Good Manors Nurseries are amazing, my child has been attending for the last three years and has developed and learnt so much. The staff are great and look after all the children so well. Our child loves going to to nursery to see his friends and having so much fun, sometimes he doesn't want to come
home. I definitely recommend Good Manors to all parents, it certainly is an outstanding nursery.

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.
