The documentary that lifted the lid on the riveting, uncensored drama of life in the nursery returns as series. It’s midsummer and over the course of the holidays more than 50 children between the ages of four and six come to a specially rigged school, where they meet each other for the first time, make friends, play together – sometimes harmoniously, sometimes less so – and learn skills that will stay with them forever. The action unfolds under the watchful eyes of three scientists, Professor Paul Howard-Jones, Dr Sam Wass and Dr Elizabeth Kilbey.

Across a gorgeous, sun-drenched summer holiday more than forty children of 4 and 5 years old converge on a brand new inner-city school that is rigged with cameras and wired for sound. This year a new raft of specially designed games will test everything from the children’s ability to handle a one day old chick, to their willingness to take risks, to seeing how well they can resist a 5-tier chocolate fountain. And this time, as well as giving insight into the children’s behaviour, our scientists -- Professor Paul Howard-Jones, Dr Sam Wass, Dr Elizabeth Kilbey and Dr Alison Pike -- also consider what may be going on inside their brains.
