TV gets in on the nursery business

Amother of six is to open a day nursery and become one of the stars of a new docu-soap, which will follow her fortunes for a year. Stephanie Davies' success in the audition for the show came as a great surprise to her, after she took part on a whim thinking she had nothing to lose. 'The Biz', which will be shown on BBC Wales, will follow the lives of five entrepreneurs for a year, each with a mentor assigned to support and guide them in their new business venture.
