Where You'll Be Working

The Good Manors Day Nursery Manor Lodge team is proud to be an Outstanding Ofsted-rated provision, where children receive excellent care and flourish in a setting unlike any other. The unique setting of our carefully converted grade 2 listed building is often the starting point of many adventures to local points of interest. 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 we call “The Lodge Pod”, where children can continue their learning with activities such as mark-making and arts and crafts. The nursery is located on Church Path in the centre of Fareham, alongside the Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. We are conveniently located just off the A27, making the nursery easily accessible. Parking is available to the rear of the nursery building, in the public car park.

What You'll Be Doing

As part of our Bank Nursery Team, you’ll support children and colleagues across the nursery as and when needed - whether that’s covering holidays, supporting during busy periods, or helping provide consistency for children when teams need extra support.

No two days are ever quite the same - and that’s part of the joy.

One moment you could be building dens outdoors and the next you’ll be helping bring story time to life.

You’ll support children through play, creativity, curiosity, and connection while helping create a safe, nurturing environment where they feel happy, valued, and confident to explore.

What We’re Looking For

Experience working in a childcare or Early Years setting, a Level 2 or Level 3 Early Years qualification is desirable but not essential.

We’re looking for people with big hearts, curious minds, and a genuine passion for supporting children’s growth and development.
