Charlotte Riley has revealed that she has set up a nursery ‘for the first time in film history’, offering childcare services to those in the industry.

The 39-year-old actress, who is the proud mom to her two children, five and two, co-founded the WonderWorks Nursery near Warner Bros Studios in Hertfordshire last year.

Although Charlotte and her husband Tom Hardy, 43, have a fortune of several million pounds that would allow them to hire a nanny, the mother-of-two explained that the nursery was ‘vital’ to the film industry .

Speaking to The Times, Charlotte said: ‘We have so many people, especially women, who are in their thirties, want to have kids but are gone,’ Oh my gosh I’m literally about to direct my first film. ” Then they have to choose and that’s all kinds of trouble.

The press star continued, “ The industry chooses to work those long hours, 15 hours a day. Now is the time for the industry to take some responsibility for its social impact ”.

During the interview, the actress said she was not forced to turn down a job because she could afford to hire a nanny ‘because my partner is working’.

But Charlotte said the nursery is important for those in the industry who don’t receive huge salaries, who have to work for short contracts and move between studio and location shoots.

“ He knows how vital it is, he really cares about the teams he works with, everyone will tell you he’s the first person on the set, saying hello to everyone, ” a- she declared.

Charlotte described the interior of the nursery “ a bit like going to your grandmother’s house ” as it has an eclectic collection of accessories, costumes and furniture revisited from old movie sets.

However, the actress did not turn her back on the main role on the big screen.

Her next project, the sci-fi series The Peripheral, will see her star alongside Chloë Grace Moretz.
