Built in the early 1900s and previously a family home, Good Manors Day Nursery Stubbington Lodge has been refurbished to create a modern, natural, light and spacious nursery.

Inside, each room has been carefully planned to provide an engaging environment for children to flourish. Learning starts with the development of sensory skills, progressing through a variety of age-appropriate activities to extend all areas of learning. The older children are encouraged to develop their personalities and improve their independence skills; through self-serving at mealtimes and choosing their own learning.

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 children enjoy the outdoor space all year round. This space includes a sand pit, mud kitchen, water tray and climbing wall.                

Stubbington Lodge is situated near shops, libraries and parks, providing the children the opportunity to visit and learn about the local community.

My daughter attends Good Manors at Stubbington Lodge and cannot wait to go to nursery each day. I have no complaints at all about this nursery (and we have experience of other nurseries). The staff and management are lovely and she feels comfortable with all of them. The food is varied and freshly cooked
in the kitchen within the nursery. I would (and have) recommend this nursery.

Our son started at this Nursey in October 2015. We had moved from a different Nursey so I was a bit apprehensive about moving him from his friends and familiar surroundings. He settled in so quickly thanks to the lovely staff and loves every minute, he can't wait to go to nursery! As well as all of
the activities done in the Nursey they are taken to the park, shops, library etc. The food is all provided and is a great, varied, 4-week menu. The level of teaching is excellent, he is always coming out with new things that we had no idea he knew about and we get to keep up with it through the 'Tapestry' online learning journey. We would highly recommend Good Manors at Stubbington Lodge.

As a mother of 8 and my youngest being the last at Nursery I couldn't be happier with the choice we made, all the staff are extremely professional and I couldn't be happier, every day my daughter looks forward to nursery, she's always doing something fun and is becoming a very confident, happy and as
the name of the nursery suggests very good mannered little girl. The food is what makes the nursery, even more, value for money and is what you would expect to receive from a posh restaurant. I 100% recommend this nursery and even though I have family members who work in different nurseries and have asked my daughter to join theirs I would not consider moving, I even have parents who would look after for free but the care would not be the same with all the activities food and mixing with others. Thank you, Good Manners Stubbington Lodge Portsmouth.

My daughter has been at Good Manors for five months in the baby room. The staff have been excellent at helping her adjust and settle into her new routine. She absolutely loves going there and she has formed beautiful bonds with the staff. I really feel she gets the love and attention she needs as well
as her educational needs being met. As a parent, it is a big deal trusting people with your child. I was lucky to find somewhere that I instantly felt comfortable with and they have gone above and beyond to make us feel well looked after. The food choices are always varied and the nursery is always clean and welcoming with various displays. The communication and knowledge of the staff are excellent and I always get the impression that they are as happy as I am when she meets new goals and says new words. One of the main benefits is the school hours which was a winner for me with her having an older sibling. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Our boy started with Good Manors in October 2016 when he was 10 months old and has enjoyed every single day. All staff have shown incredible care and developed a wonderful relationship with our child. When we pick him up at the end of the day, they always have time to chat and update us on what activities
he has enjoyed doing and any developments he has made.


We feel incredibly lucky to have our child in a such a caring, encouraging and nurturing environment. Knowing how happy he is has made the transition back to work after maternity leave so much easier. I would (and have) highly recommend the nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

My Son has attended Good Manors, Stubbington Lodge since September /October 2016 and he has learnt a wide array of new skills especially his knowledge of his day to day surroundings which may be the day of the week or month and also his memory of different songs has been amazing. In December a Christmas
show was also put on and to see my Son up there with the other kids singing back to me was one of the proudest memories I have of him.

The environment is suitable to meet the childrens needs, space is limited however they have designed it to maximise it's capacity and children can explore their environment freely with the help of staff. Staff are always alert, appear caring and share good working relationships to children. Educationally
the plans are age appropriate and I have seen my child making significant improvement. The meals are well balanced and my child enjoys them.

Friendly, approachable staff create an atmosphere where my child feels comfortable to learn and take risks. My child is happy and developing skills all the time. I feel that I am kept informed of every moment I am away.
Stubbington Lodge was definitely the correct choice for my family. The transition
process was made to be as easy as possible and we have never looked back since. My child has access to a range of resources to enable all areas of development and carries out tasks we wouldn't be able to undertake at home.

This is a fairly new nursery and they have expanded our expectations. My daughter started at 18 months old and I was/am very happy to leave her there. Communication is great and so is their "Tapestry" system.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Good Manors Day Nursery Stubbington Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.833 for Good Manors Day Nursery Stubbington Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.833

  • 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 Stubbington Lodge is based on 15 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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2, which has been reached with 15 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.
