Good Manors Day Nursery Stubbington Lodge

My son started attending nursery mid August when I returned to work. In a time (Covid) when being able to settle your child in and they attend nursery has its own difficulties, I found the setting and staff to be highly professional and supportive. He has settled into the baby room really well and happily goes off to play. Both staff in the room where he attends are caring and passionate about their jobs. They have really gotten to know my son and this is clear to see when they are setting up activities and next steps for him to aid his development. The app which the setting uses to report back on your child’s day is a great addition and the girls fill it with pictures throughout the day. They regularly put in observations and I am also able to input home observations, which I feel helps with a parent/setting relationship. Being in the nursery has developed my son’s confidence and knowing he is happy and enjoying nursery makes leaving him much easier.

As the mother of a child with special educational needs, I was extremely anxious about finding the right nursery for my son. I absolutely made the right choice with Good Manors. They have been exceptional in regards to providing my son with a supportive and caring environment whilst also helping me to navigate through all of the paperwork that needs to be completed during his time at nursery and in preparation for starting school.
The site manager and SENCO work amazingly well together and are wonderfully prompt when answering any queries or concerns.
My son has faced some struggles during his time at nursery due to his additional needs, but with the support of all of the staff he is now thoroughly enjoying his days at nursery and I know that we will both be very sad when the time comes to start school in September 2021.

My 1 year old has been attending Good Manors Stubbington Lodge for almost 3 months. He absolutely loves his time spent in the baby room and all of the staff are wonderful. This includes the management as well as the hands-on staff in his baby room and key worker. There are a variety of daily activities provided and the food menu looks far better than most hotels I’ve stayed at! Very nutritious, varied and tasty. The staff are very encouraging with developing my child’s skills which really helps in his development and learning. We receive a daily diary detailing meals, milk, naps and activities for the day including lots of photographs so we can see what our little one has been up to! Communication is spot on and the staff are always willing to help and adjust routines as required. I’d definitely recommend this nursery to friends and family, and it puts me at ease when I am at work knowing that they take excellent care of my child and always have a smile with it! Thanks, guys!

From the first day our son attended nursery, both him and us were made to feel so welcome and reassured he was in excellent care. The team are amazing and are always so willing to discuss any questions we have. They are so caring towards our son and I always recommend the nursery to anyone looking. Amazing staff, amazing nursery and we can’t rate it highly enough.

We think Stubbington Lodge nursery is wonderful! Our little girl (21 months) absolutely loves going in and has built really positive relationships with the staff and other children. We love receiving the updates so we can see what she has bee up to. We couldn’t have picked a better nursery if we tried!

My son has been going to Good Manors for around 14 months, since just before he turned one and I cannot recommend them enough. He only goes two days a week but he absolutely loves it and adores all the staff. As an overly anxious first-time mum, they have always reassured me and never made me feel silly for having questions. They get to know all the children so well and are all so friendly and enthusiastic. We are often welcomed at the door by the staff, who knows all the children by name and makes drop-off time that little bit easier. The staff member who runs the baby room communicates so well with all the children, even those that are nonverbal, she just has a great skill to understand them and quite often she would understand what my son was trying to say better than I could. He’s now moved up to the toddler room and the staff have settled him in so well and I just feel they go above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and developing well. Can’t thank them all enough.

The nursery is such a friendly, caring and safe environment. All the staff we have interacted with have been excellent and I am confident our son is being well looked after and very much enjoying his time in the nursery.

I am so pleased we choose Good Manors Day Nursery for our daughter. The nursery is such a friendly, caring and safe environment. All the staff are excellent and are always so willing to discuss any questions we have, the communication is fantastic.
Daily activities are varied and include arts/crafts, garden time, free play, sensory, singing/dancing and story time! Detailed daily diaries are available at the end of each day via a mobile app (including photos) – we find this hugely beneficial and it’s great to see how much fun our daughter has had, what she has eaten and track her development/milestones.
Would really recommend this nursery to anyone, and we can’t wait to have our second child starting there later this year.

Lovely friendly staff. Great support for the children. Different variety of foods. Time spent outside each day. Fantastic updates on the app with daily activities, meals, nappy changes and milestones.

The staff are amazing and so good with the children. Prices are extortionate when you compare to other prices especially when you are supposed to be better off with funding this is definitely not the case here but other than that, all good.
