Keeping Families in Film with Early Years Care & Education, Holiday Clubs & Holistic Family Support

This creates a vicious cycle: no childcare means turning down work, which means less income, which means less ability to pay for childcare. Breaking this cycle requires industry-wide support, and investment. And…it’s why we exist!
Stat taken from the report 2023 and features in our blog: 20 Stats on Why the Film & TV Industry Needs to Invest in the Retention of Parents (link in bio).
Tuesday was Random Acts of Kindness Day, and not that we ever need an excuse but it was the perfect day for one of our Kindness Walks around the studios! So, off we went!
The children shared some wildflower seed paper with the people they met and wished everyone a lovely day🌻
Thank you to our kind friends for helping us spread the love 🫶
Safe to say we’ve storied up a storm this week at WonderWorks for National Storytelling Week 2026! ✨ 📚
We had a book-character scavenger hunt in the park, created our own films using the green screen in our studio, painted masks and tried them on whilst we sheltered from the rain and tested our new tripods recording the sights and sounds of the farm with 🌾 Today it’s our Storytelling Festival - as a group we’ll look back on the story of our epic week and retell it to each other from our memories, photos, film and imagination 💭
We had a magical time visiting Santa, the elves needed a few extra pairs of hands and we were pleased to help out!🎅
Wishing you and your families a very happy and hygge festive break from all of us at The WonderWorks ✨✨✨
Give it up for the WonderWorks Winter WonderFest!❄️🎄☕️
We danced, we sang, we drank hot chocolate, and we played in the snow ⛄️
Thank you to everyone who joined us, our amazing community of families, and everyone who helped to make it happen! Jon Spanyol on keys 🎹 and of course, our amazing Programme Leader, Chelsea 💚
We do LOVE a pumpkin at TWW! 🎃 Thank you to everyone who came for our Autumn Family Day 🍁 and made it such a special, cosy time!

Last week we were so lucky to have our first visit from Lola and Jane! Lola is an Therapy Dog 🐾 and she’s VERY CUTE! We gave her some treats and she helped us build a tower, she was very good at balancing the blocks! 🧱
Animal-therapy is scientifically proven to have a positive impact on children, enhancing emotional well-being and of course promoting empathy and kindness 💫
We can’t wait to see you again, Lola & Jane! Until next time, woof! 🐶
