The film-makers’ award-winning documentaries on child development – such as The Wonder Year, which documents a baby’s first year – have often been compared to Attenborough’s natural history programmes.
Siren Films has been making films and documentaries about child development and behaviour for more than 30 years.

Siren films’ founder, Wendy McEvoy, said, ‘After 30 years of making films about child development and learning, spending weeks, months and sometimes years perfecting content, it’s somewhat humbling to receive a letter from Sir David Attenborough. To hear directly from the great documentary-maker is the best compliment.’
