  • Good Manors Day Nursery Queenswood Lodge, Waterlooville
Good Manors Day Nursery Queenswood Lodge is located in the market town of Waterlooville. The nursery building previously served as a doctor’s surgery until its refurbishment into a nursery in 2020.

The nursery has three light and open plans rooms, which are carefully designed for the children to become independent learners. There are plenty of natural resources and furniture, inviting children to control their own learning and development. 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 large garden has room for exploring, with space to run and explore, as well as areas for the children to discover the world around them.

The setting is lucky to be located opposite the Queens Inclosure woodlands, which allows the children to use this 100-acre woodland for adventures outside of the nursery.

The team liaise with local primary schools to ensure that children are well prepared for the next stage in their education when it is time to progress on to ‘big school’.

Only good things to say about this nursery! My daughter has been going here since she was 11 months old and she LOVES it here! She refers to the staff here as her friends and she gets excited to go every week!
They always do what's best for her and she's developing so well within their care. Never
any tears at drop off and she's always wanting to show me the toys on collection with all the delay tactics as she doesn't want to come home. Not the cheapest nursery in the area but you definitely get what you pay for here and my child's happiness is worth every penny!

We love Good Manors, especially my son's key worker and the room leader. My son adores coming to nursery and we are so thrilled with the 2 girls I have mentioned. He has formed a bond with them which is so lovely to see. Every time we come back from picking him up we say that those two are in the right
jobs and how amazing they are. Thank you to all the staff in the baby room! And the excellent managers who run the nursery.

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

Our nursery practitioners are the heart of our setting. They are passionate about supporting children in exploring and developing and reassuring parents that their little ones are safe and cared for. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

The Mother's Day event has shown me how well my baby is being cared for. I have taken him upstairs for tea. When I turned around to leave and baby started to cry, a member of staff was immediately there comforting my baby and giving cuddles.

All the staff go above and beyond to make the experience for the children an enjoyable one, with excellent activities and a variety of meals throughout the day to provide a balanced diet. The staff are all engaging, willing to share updates of what has happened during the day and nothing ever seems
too much trouble. Additional parent events such as Mother's/Father's Day and Christmas Carol Service are also a nice addition, bringing parents and children together. Thank you to all the staff at Good Manors Day Nursery.

My daughter started in January 2023 and loves it. The staff are fantastic, always warm and welcoming and happy to go over everything and anything. The well-thought-out activities done every day have helped my little one to develop her skills and grow her confidence. The management staff are extremely
helpful and kind, and always open to suggestions and comments. I highly recommend based on the care my child receives and give the nursery, staff and facilities five stars.

My eldest child started half days at Good Manors Day Nursery in February 2022 in preschool. I was very happy with her care, all the staff in the class were amazing. My youngest daughter joined half days in July 2023 in babies room and is now in Tweenies, there have been a lot of staff changes and I
haven't found the staff as attentive as the preschool room. The management is extremely helpful and kind.
Fast forward two years and there have been five price increases, charges for 'enhancements' that my children have never received and they have now made it mandatory to have a full day so they can still get as much money out of you as possible. The Old Station Nursery are not interested in satisfying their customers or customer retention, they are, sadly, only interested in money.

Good Manors is a wonderful nursery. The staff are warm, welcoming, friendly, and always happy to help. The building is beautifully maintained and I especially love the garden. The food is healthy, nutritious, and always thoroughly enjoyed by my son. My son is always excited to go to nursery in the morning
and is full of wonderful stories from the day when we pick him up. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

My little one has only just started at Good Manors but am really happy we chose this nursery. All the staff are very friendly and I feel comfortable leaving my son in their care for the day. The room he is in is lovely with a great outside space too. Lots of different activities to keep him occupied
and a great variety of meals/food as well (which he thoroughly enjoys!)

Good Manors Day Nursery Queenswood Lodge is great. A warm welcome every morning. The staff are always smiling and attentive.
My little one loves going here and always comes home with a smile on his face.
We moved here after not settling into our first nursery and I’m so glad we did!
My son started
in the babies room and he is now in the pre school room and I have loved seeing him flourish.
The food/menus are great and varied - like most children he seems to like chef’s food more than mummies!
Thanks to all at Queenswood Lodge

Good Manors Day Nursery have been absolutely outstanding in looking after my son. With multiple health needs they have been incredible in accommodating him and helping him with his meds during the days and looking after him if he isn’t well. They always go above and beyond with their care and are always
so welcoming.

My daughter has just recently started at Good Manors. After attending numerous settling-in sessions, my mind was completely at ease and I knew my daughter was going to be in the best care.
Her transition into nursery was as smooth as possible and she thoroughly enjoys her time at Good Manors.
The
staff are extremely helpful and really do go the extra mile to ensure you are given all the support your little one may need.
I love seeing the updates on the app, it’s so lovely to see my daughter engaging in a range of activities and having such a wonderful time. Thank you Good Manors, you really are a fantastic team and I can’t thank you enough for making this a memorable journey for our daughter!

My daughter has been going to Good Manors Day Nursery at Queenswood Lodge since January this year and the staff had made her transition into daycare very easy for us. She absolutely loves going to nursery and we have very quickly seen her turn into a confident little girl. All of the staff have been
very warm and welcoming. The diary system is really nice too so we can see everything she has been up to all day including knowing about all her naps and meal times. It is great to see our daughter learning new things all the time and seeing how many different activities she gets up to whilst she is at nursery, including spending time outdoors. I am also really pleased with the varied menu offered, my daughter gets to try lots of different foods each week. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery from all that I have seen so far.

I cannot speak highly enough of the nursery. My son had a really hard time adjusting at first, how they dealt with it made me feel at ease leaving him with them. The updates they provide on the app are amazing, I know everything he has done throughout the day. Seeing his little smile in the pictures
is evidence in itself how much he loves it. His key worker and the whole team are really caring. He’s only a couple of months in and already he gets sad when we leave after picking him up. He absolutely loves it there.

My son has been attending Good Manors Day Nursery since he was 9 months. He enjoys his time at nursery and all the activities and delicious food. The staff are all lovely and friendly and have helped out with additional needs where required. There are plenty of play areas and toys which allow him to
explore and develop at his own pace with the support of the team. The app is brilliant and the staff are always taking videos and photos so I can see what he's been up to throughout the day. I would happily recommend the nursery and think it is good value for money.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.848)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.848) out of 10 for Good Manors Day Nursery Queenswood 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.848 for Good Manors Day Nursery Queenswood Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (232 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.848

  • 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 Queenswood Lodge is based on 21 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 21 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.

Hi! Claire and I are the Nursery Managers here at Good Manors Day Nursery Queenswood Lodge. I am also qualified for Level 6.


Having worked in Early Years for 12 years, I have loved every minute of it; from watching babies take their first steps to waving our pre-school children off to school. I am passionate about my job and my team, and I strive to support each child to develop to their fullest potential through a range of fun and exciting activities; while also getting to know their families. Here at Queenswood Lodge, we love the outdoor environment and making use of the local wooded area, taking the children on exploratory walks and picnics, and supporting them in exploring the world around them.


We look forward to welcoming you to our nursery!
