I highly recommend Good Manors - Manor Lodge. My child has been with them for 3 mo the and is thriving. I feel happy and comfortable knowing he is there learning & playing. The food is delicious, the staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Fantastic nursery, would highly recommend. The staff have built an amazing relationship with my son and he can't wait to go in every day. I feel like they know him personally and cater for his specific needs and wants rather than him just being another child like it can be at other nurseries. I've had the opportunity to go into the nursery for mother's day and have seen my son interacting with staff members confidently and happily. I am so grateful to all the staff and I feel confident leaving him at nursery knowing he will not only be well cared for but also have so many varied learning opportunities that I'd never be able to provide at home!
