  • 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 little girl has been going here since 9-months-old and starts school in September, I can't thank the staff enough for her being so ready for her next chapter. I'm glad I got my boy booked in and he now gets to go to this nursery as well. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Management is very
approachable and helpful and all staff have worked extra hard throughout the Covid situation to ensure the pandemic has had minimum effect on the children. Very impressed with this nursery.

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.

My 17-month-old son has loved Manor Lodge since day 1 (9 months). We have seen him develop so much and it's great to see him interacting with the other children and the staff. He has learnt (and continues to learn) basic signs which are useful at home.


The babies are always doing fun activities -

messy or wet, they always seem to have fun. The tapestry update photos and comments are lovely. We are kept up to date of any injuries or signs of being unwell and really feel that staff/management genuinely get to know and care about the children.


We have seen regular investments in furniture, decorations and the gardens. The location is great for us, the town centre is handy and I love the fact that the garden is completely enclosed and away from any noisy polluted roads.


The food variety is good and seems enjoyable as he seems to eat nearly everything he is given. We were also impressed they managed to get him to nap early on as he wouldn't sleep anywhere but in his cot at home!


So glad we chose Good Manors at Manor Lodge!

My daughter has been attending Good Manors Manor Lodge since October 2017. On her arrival, she was shy and timid and wouldn’t be without me. Now she is sociable with her friends is Nursery and her vocabulary is amazingly amazing. She has learnt so much and will continue to learn more from the friendly
and wonderful staff. My daughter also has certain health problems which the whole staffing team are aware of and Care plans are put in place. This is so reassuring knowing when I drop her off in the morning she is well looked after. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

After some serious problems with the previous nursery, the staff at Good Manors at Manor Lodge have been amazing. I love the fact pre school and Tweenies are split giving more support to the younger toddlers. Great staff members who are happy and helpful. My daughter is very happy and settled there
and I have peace of mind leaving her there. The only minor thing is that sometimes there is less communication than I’d like e.g. when a new staff member starts it would be nice to be told/introduced or an email sent out to parents to keep everyone informed.

Soon as we walked through Manor Lodge to look around I knew I wanted my daughter to join here, the staff were/are so welcoming.
My daughter has been there for over a year now and she loves it, every time I collect her she looks so happy and tells me about her day. The staff are brilliant and so friendly,
they really work hard and dedicate themselves in making sure the children are safe and are having a great time.
When my daughter starts school in a couple of years I will be sad that she will be leaving.

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.
