Third Door Workhub & Nursery

Specialties

Third Door is revolutionising the way family and work grow together

Sharing desks and offices isn’t a new concept. Neither is childcare. Combine the two and mix in a huge dose of collaboration and you have new flexible working innovation that we believe is the future for families. Third Door: a flexible daycare Nursery with an onsite Coworking space.

Use the Nursery or Workhub on their own, or use both together.

Being flexible around the professional and childcare needs of our members is what we exist for.

History

Established in 2010.

The story of Third Door began in 2008 when Founder Shazia Mustafa’s maternity leave was coming to an end. She decided corporate life wasn’t for her so met up with a friend to brainstorm business ideas. However, most of their day was spent looking after their daughters. It was then that Shazia had her eureka moment. She wished for a place where she and her friend could work productively for a couple of hours and leave their children in trusted care. And so, the ‘Third Door’ concept was born.

Shazia’s husband Yusuf was studying for an MBA at the time and since it was self-​funded, she persuaded him to write a business plan for Third Door as part of his dissertation. The business plan was handed in late 2008 and awarded a distinction! This gave Shazia added confidence that the Third Door concept was a winner so went on to open the first Third Door in May 2010.
