  • 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.

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.

Reply from Hannah Nabil, Marketing Business Partner at Good Manors Day Nursery Manor Lodge

Thank you for your lovely feedback! It's amazing to hear how excited your daughter is for nursery days. We're so glad you find the curriculum engaging and supportive at home. Our team truly appreciates your kind words :)

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!

Reply from Hannah Nabil, Marketing Business Partner at Good Manors Day Nursery Manor Lodge

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're so pleased to hear that your son is happy and thriving at nursery. It's great that the team is supporting his bilingual journey and additional needs so well. We truly appreciate your kind words.

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.


Reply from Hannah Nabil, Marketing Business Partner at Good Manors Day Nursery Manor Lodge

Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear your son loves Manor Lodge and that you're happy with his progress. We appreciate your feedback and will consider it as we continue to improve. Thank you for your support.

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.

Reply from Hannah Nabil, Marketing Business Partner at Good Manors Day Nursery Manor Lodge

Thank you for the positive review. We're thrilled to hear your son is having such a great experience at Manor Lodge and that he's excited to be with the team each day. Your recommendation means a lot to us.

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!

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

It is always a sad time when we say goodbye to families, but we wish you all the best of luck in the next steps of your early years of education! Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review.

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

My daughter has been attending Good Manors since she was 11 months old. I have always felt she was safe and just as importantly happy. At 4 years old she now comes out every day still smiling and telling me all the activities she has done. The staff are always on hand to talk and share my child’s progress.
I especially love how much time the children spend outside, no matter the weather they get fresh air and utilise the beautiful outside space they have. I cannot recommend this nursery enough!

Good Manors has been great for our child. She's always happy to go and when picking her up I see the smiles on the faces of the carers and other children are genuine. The updates on the app are great, the food is great and the attention she gets is fantastic. Her speech and vocabulary have come a long
way since starting, we're very grateful for everything Good Manors is doing.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.888)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.888) out of 10 for Good Manors Day Nursery Manor Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.888 for Good Manors Day Nursery Manor Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (320 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 357 Ratings = 4.888

  • b) 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 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
