Manor Lodge, 3 Church Path, Fareham, PO16 7DT
View Full Details of Good Manors Day Nursery Manor LodgeWe 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.
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. With heartfelt gratitude,
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 daughter loves going and excitedly says nursery day,nursery day on the way there. The curriculum is brilliant and so engaging,with ideas on how to continue at home to support your child. All the staff are wonderful and know the children so well. Nothing is too much and they work tirelessly to make sure both children and parents are getting the best from the setting.
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.
The staff work so hard and cannot do enough for the kids. The food is amazing and always changing and the communication is great, I always know what's happening and when. The app contains updates every day for each meal and nappy change etc. The only place I'd want to send my kids!
My son started nursery at Manor Lodge in January 2025 and I couldn't be happier with his first 2 months. He has the best time at nursery and is always so happy being dropped off to the staff in the morning. Every single member of staff has been so friendly and welcoming, would recommend to all new parents.
We have sent both our children to Good Manors since they were 6 months old, and with our eldest now 6 my review is based on 5 1/2 years of just incredible experiences. The staff at this nursery are amazing and I know that my two girls are safe and have the most incredible time, every time they go! Thank you to everyone who has had a positive impact on my children's Development. It means the world to us and you should be so proud! 100% send your children here, you won't regret it.
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!
My children have had a great start at Manor Lodge, the staff have been consistent, warm and supportive. The boys have bonded well with the staff, they are really friendly and polite, and we have appreciated their great service since 2018. The boys will really miss the ladies there and we highly recommend it!
Caring staff who work with parents to deliver the best outcomes for children. Approachable and happy to accommodate individual circumstances as they arise. My child loves attending this setting and has made lots of friends.
My daughter has always been very shy but with the help of the wonderful teachers at Good Manors she is slowly coming out of her shell. She is always looking forward to go to Preschool! Highly recommend!
Friendly staff. Children always have lots to do and play with. Lots of outside time when possible/weather permitting. My daughter is very happy here. She will be sad to leave when she goes to school in September.
The whole nursery team are absolutely amazing. The staff are all so friendly and accommodating. My daughter absolutely loves nursery and mentions two members of staff a lot! So a big shout out to them. My daughter is developing so well and amazes me every day, and I know a big part of that is the support she is getting from the nursery team.
