The nursery will be the setting for the first episode of ‘Aunties’, a comedy drama about the lives and working relationships of six eccentric people who work in a private day nursery in the North of England. The scenes will be shot on 27, 28 and 29 September.
The plot centres around the merger of the nursery with a junior school, which threatens the jobs of some of the staff, especially the person who has been there the longest. The six episodes, each running for 45 minutes, will follow the way the staff at the nursery deal with the merger.
Adam Paulden, co-writer of ‘Aunties’, said, ‘We want to highlight the red tape and the hilarity of having to go through the system. But there is also a touching side about how people can be very caring and how in the worst circumstances care can prevail.’
