BBC - CBeebies

Cbeebies Before we saw that sky was offering the rest of the children’s channels for only an extra £1 per month, we only had Cbeebies and one other children’s channel and it wouldn’t have been fair to write a review of over a year of only this channel as after a while of the same programmes I was becoming very bored, though my daughter seemed to still enjoy it. Now we have the other channels I can not only review properly by comparing to other channels, but I have also found a new like to the channel now that we can mix it with a wide range of channels. ************ CBEEBIES ************ ... more

~ ~ ~ Overview ~ ~ ~ “Can I watch My Beebies?” is a question usually heard around breakfast time in our household. “My Beebies” refers to the BBC preschool channel CBeebies which can be found on digital television. I do limit Jacob’s TV time generally and he isn’t a child who is happy to be sat glued to the telly for hours on end – he’s far too busy causing other kinds of mayhem. But the CBeebies channel can be found turned on in our living room at some point most days of the week. ~ ~ ~ Presenters ~ ~ ~ The channel takes the format of showing several programmes in 4 hourly blocks interspersed ... more

When I first had my children, I, probably like many other parents, thought that I would hardly let them watch television at all. But then reality struck, and I realised that there are certain times of the day that a little television is actually quite a good thing, especially if I am to get anything done around the house and retain a little sanity as well. I do usually suggest watching a bit of TV for quiet times such as just after lunch or when I am trying to get tea ready. Sometimes my daughters choose to watch a DVD at this time instead, but I generally can guarantee that if we switch ... more

Hello, hello! How are you? Hello, hello! It's good to see you! I say hello! I'm happy that you came! I say hello! Please tell me, Please tell me, Please tell me your name. The few of you who met me in person you know that I’m not the person who is seeking attraction. Yesterday I took the kids to the playground then to the Tesco to buy a few things for the weekend. I don’t know how came into my elder one’s mind but he started to shout “Hello Justin! Where are you? Mr. Tumble, where are you?”. Despite telling him that none of the CBeebies characters were in the Tesco he kept shouting. It was the ... more

Well, who better than my six year old daughter, Viktoria, to review one of our household’s favourite TV channels, CBeebies? This has often saved my sanity, got Viki out of her regular tantrums (She has Oppositional Defiance Disorder) and given me a few minutes’ much welcome peace and quiet. On from 6am until 7pm, it fits in perfectly with little ones waking up and going to bed. The programmes are British, well made and almost always of an educational nature so, while I wouldn’t advocate letting your kids vegetate in front of the TV all day every day, when you do let them, you ... more
