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.

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.
