About our Nursery 

Good Manors Day Nursery Miller Drive, located in the heart of the Uplands community, provides stimulating activities that encourage learning and development. We may look small from the front of our building, but we are actually fortunate to have lots of lovely garden space, which is split into three areas with age-appropriate resources including a climbing frame, climbing wall, sand pit, mud kitchen and a playhouse. The garden also has a retractable awning, allowing safe, all-day access even in summer. We are located on Miller drive, just a short walk from Fareham leisure centre and Uplands School. We are close to the A27 and a short distance from Fareham train station. We have parking directly outside the nursery for convenience.
 

The Old Station Nursery is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and we expect all applicants to share this commitment. All roles are subject to enhanced DBS checks, satisfactory references, and verification of your right to work in the UK and any essential qualifications. If successful, our recruitment and compliance team will guide you through every step of the onboarding process. We are an inclusive employer and welcome applications from all backgrounds.
