Overall Experience

I can't praise and recommend this nursery enough. My son has attended since he was one and he's always happy and settled. His development over the years has been incredible thanks to the wonderful staff who are friendly, professional, caring and consistently going above and beyond. We receive regular updates along with plenty of photos through the app and the meals are nutritious and sound delicious. Our second son will be starting in 2027 and I'm thrilled that both of my children will share this experience.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Good Manors Day Nursery Stubbington Lodge

Review from Eleanor H (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended Stubbington Lodge for over 18 months. All the staff are fabulous, they have been so attentive and caring for him. He has had numerous instances of struggling with separation anxiety and they're always so comforting for him and give plenty of cuddles when needed. The team is small and have created a fantastic environment for little ones to grow and learn in. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The home cooked hot meals by the in-house chef also make me very jealous each lunchtime! Absolutely fantastic nursery and preschool.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Good Manors Day Nursery Stubbington Lodge

We are delighted to read that your son has been well supported, particularly during times of separation anxiety, and that you value the caring environment our team has created. It is also lovely to know that the home-cooked meals we provide are such a positive part of your experience.

I feel my child wouldn't be where they are without the support of the nursery. He's currently starting his potty training journey and I feel that staff listen to what we are trying and follow our lead. They have also provided a wide range of activities to help him learn and grow.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Good Manors Day Nursery Stubbington Lodge

We are so pleased to read that you feel supported, especially as your son begins his potty training journey. Working closely with families and following each child's individual needs is very important to us, and it is lovely to know this has made a positive difference.

Overall Experience

My LB joined with Stubbington Lodge in September 2025 and I've seen nothing but progress with his milestones. He joined the Tweenie room and they've been nothing but supportive and reassuring as well as informative at handovers. The resources are well maintained and my son loves the garden and activities on offer. I love the pictures that I get throughout the day and he's so happy when I come and collect him. Overall, such a lovely nursery! Thank you to all of the ladies for their support.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Good Manors Day Nursery Stubbington Lodge

We are delighted to read how well your little boy has settled and that you are seeing such positive progress in his milestones. The team will be thrilled to know their support and communication at handovers have made such a difference. It is wonderful that he enjoys the garden, the activities, and the resources we provide, and we are glad the daily photos help you feel connected to his day.

Review from Leanne C (Mother of Child) published on 4 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been going to this Nursery since he was 5 months old! We cannot thank the staff enough for their care they give him.
The staff are friendly and nothing is too much for them.
Any questions they are always on hand.
Their friendly, welcoming nature is wonderful and its always reassuring when your child may have the odd blip of not wanting to be away from parents.

To each and every worker at Stubbington Lodge, thank you for taking care of our little boy, for planning all the activities and helping him thrive into the little boy he is becoming.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Good Manors Day Nursery Stubbington Lodge

It means the world to us to hear how much you value our care and support. Watching the children in our care grow and thrive is a joy, and we feel privileged to be a part of their journey. The team takes great pride in creating a welcoming and nurturing environment, and it is lovely to know that it brings you such reassurance.

We cannot recommend this nursery anymore

My daughter absolutely loves it and actually looks forward to coming. I feel the nursery workers genuinely care for the children and it has such a warm atmosphere. We receive so many updates via the app and they even have their own chef, who prepares nutritious home cooked meals for the children.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're so happy to hear how much your daughter loves nursery. It's great to know the updates and home-cooked meals add to your experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

I'm so glad I sent my child here. The staff are so friendly and have been very welcoming.
Receiving updates and pictures throughout the day on what activities they have been doing and food updates to know what has been eaten is great.

Would highly recommend Good Manors Day Nursery.

Regular updates are so important to reassure parents and keep them informed about routines, activities and learning experiences. Thank you for recommending our setting.

Review from Sam M (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I could not fault one thing about this nursery. From my child's first day, we have always felt that 'family' like atmosphere.
The classes are small groups which we really like as we can see how much time and effort is being put into our children.
We are provided with regular updates throughout the day including food and how much they have eaten, which is really handy!
The staff couldn't do enough for the children and the parents.

Would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Good Manors Day Nursery Stubbington Lodge

We aim to provide a nurturing environment for children to flourish, support them in becoming ready for school, and keep parents informed and reassured about how their child is doing. Thank you for recommending our nursery.

Review from Jonathon B (Father of Child) published on 27 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our second child at Good Manors and I am so pleased we chose them. Our first child graduated from this nursery and is doing great at school. The nursery is such a friendly, caring and safe environment. All the staff are excellent and are always so willing to discuss any questions we have, the communication is fantastic.
Daily activities are varied and include arts/crafts, garden time, free play, sensory, singing/dancing and story time! Detailed daily diaries are available at the end of each day via a mobile app (including photos) - we find this hugely beneficial and it's great to see how much fun our son has had, what he has eaten and track his development/milestones.

Would really recommend this nursery to anyone.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Good Manors Day Nursery Stubbington Lodge

Thank you for recommending us. We strive to ensure that children feel safe and happy in our care and leave nursery ready for school and with a love of learning. Communication is key to this so that parents can track their child's progress and feel at ease knowing they are happy and cared for.

My son enjoys the nursery and has made lots of friends.

Just a shame that the prices are ridiculous especially when you have funding and your bill is still over 100 pounds just for food!

Having a child with extra care needs made it challenging trying to find the right setting and we were let down by other nurseries, but Good Mannors welcomed us with open arms and put all my concerns at ease. Staff go above and beyond to make sure my child and all other children are happy and safe! I’m extremely grateful for all they do, and we’re incredibly lucky to have found them.
