Who Needs Nurseries? We Do!

Synopsis
This film (the first one produced by the Leeds Animation Workshop) presents the serious facts about nursery provision in an entertaining and accessible way. The story is told from the perspective of four-year-old Tracy who discovers for herself the benefits of nursery education. Feeling hemmed in by family life, she runs away and goes to a meeting of children presided over by three ‘chairbabies’. They discuss their problems arising from a lack of nursery places, and in the end decide to take action.

Made with financial assistance from: the Equal Opportunities Commission, the Regional Arts Council, the John Cohen Trust, the Violet Melchett Children’s Trust, and the Manpower Services Commission
