Great nursery and amazing staff. Always helpful and supportive. Great activities, especially the Mother's Day afternoon tea. The nursery app is not great but besides this, it is a great nursery and our daughter is really happy.

My children have been going here since 2019, they have recently been bought so changed hands/name. It’s still new to know if this change is good or bad for the individual nursery.
Time will tell! The manager has been fab running the nursery. Staff are always friendly and knowledgeable.

My daughter has always loved going to nursery. She has learnt so much from going there as well as becoming a very confident social child. All of the staff are great with her, they really go out of their way to relay any achievements or concerns with us. I am confident when my son starts at Good Manors
he will thrive as much as my daughter has.

Great nursery. There is always a busy schedule of activities whether it be messy play, baking or crafts. The meals are great and varied. The staff are friendly. My daughter comes home having learnt something new most days.

One amazing nursery and playschool, both my son at present and my older daughter came to this playschool and wow they are fantastic, the keyworkers and management are excellent. They do everything in their power to help, excel our children and you always know they are there if you need anything answered.
The confidence my children have I do beleive comes down to the playschool, I will always recommend them. You feel safe when you have to leave the children there and feel so comfortable with them all.

My two boys started at the nursery in October last year and have loved going ever since. They settled in really quickly and look forward to going. They’re always exhausted when they get home after a busy day getting involved with all the different activities on offer. They have both come on so much
in their learning and development since attending and I just wish they started at the nursery sooner. The staff are amazing and always keep you updated. I would definitely recommend the nursery to friends and family.

Review from Sarah A (Mother of Child) published on 25 January 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son only attends nursery one day a week and didn't start attending until he was 21 months old. He found it very difficult to settle and was emotional most of the day for the first few weeks. The staff were so patient and kind to him, and encouraged me to keep sending him even though I had my doubts
he would settle. Over the weeks the tears at drop off became less and now he goes in without even a backwards glance. He is developing well in all areas and is growing in confidence. I am sure this is due to all he learns at nursery. Thank you!

We have been using Good Manors for the past 4 years since our 1st child and we really got lucky with this nursery. They all are wonderful and could not be more caring. We had some speech delay issues with our 2nd child and they made big efforts to assist providing 1 to 1 time. Our children have always
come home happy and given the opportunity to try a huge range of fruit and vegetables. We have recommended already to two of our friends who have sent two more children each and all love the nursery.

We started nursery in June 2020 and it's been a wonderful experience. Our daughter absolutely loves it, which makes us parents very happy and relieved.
Nursery app is a great tool for how we can follow our baby's daily activities, routine and see what she's up to really helps in this busy world.
Staff
is very friendly, caring and professional. Communication is always honest and we feel we always can be open to discuss if anything we like could be done differently which would benefit our child. To find a very good nursery is so important for every parent and we feel like we found one.

My children have all attended Good Manors and I have always been impressed with the caring and informative nurture of all the staff. I really couldn't have picked a better nursery. My children have made friends for life through the nursery and they always come home smiling from the wonderful day they've
had. The staff always go out of their way and are so informative when it comes to telling me how my children's day has been or answer any queries. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to all parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great nursery and antastic staff. My little boy started in January and he is settling in so much better than I expected and this is largely due to the relationships he has with the staff. I love the number of activities the children do and the amount of garden time. Great selection of food at mealtimes
and excellent communication from the management team. Thank you Good Manors.

My child always comes home really happy after his nursery. He has a problem with speech, since he joined Good Manors we can see his progress. It comes slowly but at least he progresses. His key person, always keeps us up to date about his development which is really good and helpful. She spends 30 minutes
with him when she can. And the other team member are amazing as well. Thank so much for helping me and my partner look after our kids.

Good Manors is a fantastic nursery, with excellent staff. They provide a good mix of educational play, fun and care. The food produced for the children, in house, is also excellent, healthy and nutritious. I wouldn’t send my children anywhere else.

My child goes to Good Manors nursery Miller Drive and he loves it. In February we asked if his naps could be reduced and this was taken on board and actioned immediately without any questions. Parents and nurseries should work together and this is what they do.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.506)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.506) out of 10 for Good Manors Day Nursery Miller Drive is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.506 for Good Manors Day Nursery Miller Drive is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.506
  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 Miller Drive is based on 13 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 13 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.
