Workaholic father-of-three Garry (38), reluctant dad-of-one Jay (39) and nervous father-to-be Stefan (26) spend a week working at South London nursery Magic Roundabout, staffed entirely by single mums.
Career-obsessed Garry wants to prove to his wife Lea that he has the patience and concentration to look after their three kids. But nursery staff are concerned about his unconventional approach to childcare.
Ex-military man Stefan wants to find out if he has the confidence to be a dad by the time he marries his fiancee Claire. But the 'tough love' approach he experienced during his own school days seems to translate less well to the under-fives under his command.
Jay's wife Julie hopes he can learn to enjoy spending time with kids, and cancel his vasectomy operation.
But will the intense nursery experience give the dads the confidence and passion to care for their own kids and support their partners more?
