Announced today at event to celebrate International Women’s Day, the initiative, led by Charlotte Riley and Mark Radcliffe at Wonderworks and Emily Stillman at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden was born from the need to provide flexible, high quality childcare to production crew.

Studios Leavesden in Hertfordshire, and will offer a stimulating environment for babies and children up to five-years old. With a welcoming interior and substantial outdoor play area, hours will flex to meet extended production schedules.
Charlotte Riley, co-founder of Wonderworks said: “Our ambition is to set a new precedent within the film industry by providing accessible, affordable and flexible support for families as the standard across film and TV productions through Ofsted registered nurseries. This opening is a very exciting first step.”
