Help is at hand for struggling families as The Three Day Nanny returns

It was announced today that Channel 4’s Head of Formats Dom Bird has commissioned a third series of The Three Day Nanny.

Following the success of series two, the 6 x 60 minute series will once again follow professional nanny and family expert Kathryn Mewes coming to the aid of six families at the end of their tether.

The Three Day Nanny sees Kathryn arriving at their homes to restore order and bring the families back together, using her unique three-day action plan and her extensive knowledge acquired over the last 20 years.

The series is produced by Liberty Bell Productions, series produced by Tim Quicke (Don’t Tell the Bride, BBC Three, Food Unwrapped and It’s Me or The Dog, Channel 4) and executive produced by Jamie Isaacs (Sugar Free Farm, ITV, Scrappers, BBC1, World’s Strictest Parents, BBC Three and Brat Camp, Channel 4).

Jamie Isaacs, Executive Producer said; ‘We are delighted that Channel 4 have asked for a third series. The programmes have a powerful message about how to be a parent today. Kathryn is pretty unique and she never fails to impress.’

The show is in production and set to transmit this summer on Channel 4.

Notes to Editors

About The Three Day Nanny Series 3

this new series, Kathryn is faced with some of her toughest challenges yet: a stay at home dad struggling with two boys aged two and three who won’t stop fighting, whilst their mum struggles to spend more than 10 minutes alone with them; a single mum of four under the age of three trying to control her children and get out of the house with them, coupled with the constant demands to be carried; three children whose relentless fighting, biting and name calling are tearing the family apart; tantrums that can last a full day; the extreme attention seeking two year old who is constantly banging his head in protest and trying to get his parents to react and fighting brothers at war with mum and dad who admit they are clueless at how to cope. The pressure then mounts as Kathryn withdraws to observe how and if the parents have put her advice into action and whether they can cope without her by their side. But whatever problems Kathryn is faced with, her solutions might be seen as unconventional by some but they are always effective.

Kathryn Mewes has over 20 years’ experience working with children…and their parents. She was trained at the prestigious Norland Nanny School and has since set up her own nanny practice where she has worked intensively with hundreds of families to give them bespoke troubleshooting advice.
