CBeebies

CBeebies is a famous British channel for little kids launched by the BBC on 11 February, 2002 when founder Chris Jarvis "had the idea for a CBBC for younger kids". It manages an international network supported by subscription services, and is frequently watched by families without cable TV.

CBeebies invites kids on a journey to explore the world around them with non-violent, age-appropriate educational content that offers positive role models for children to learn from and grow with. Its distinctive, interactive programming follows the day of a pre-schooler from Breakfast to Bedtime.

CBeebies' gold standard, curriculum-based programming uses a combination of puppets, animation, and a range of different hosts to teach young children skills such as letters, numbers, shapes, colours, emotions, manners, opposites, seasons, human body, time, weather, going green, and bedtime, to help then prepare for school.

There is also a subtle sense of humour on the network that has appealed to mums since it launched, and was devised as a means to encourage parents and teens to watch the channel with little ones, and thus become more involved in the shows' learning values rather than letting CBeebies act as a babysitter. Each programme on the network lasts for 30 minutes or so. And if parents don't like what their children are watching, they can come back 30 minutes later with a 60-second presenter link into another show.

Each CBeebies show is test screened before airing on television. They usually go to air because Children usually respond to their education-based curriculum. BBC usually reflects on the show's curriculum whenever merchandise is sold. The shows are so popular with their teachings that they are given Christmas specials, apps, and more than 2 series. By making favourite shows that not only educate and entertain kids, but also keep their mummies entertained and involved in the educational process, the writers and voice actors hope to inspire discussion about the concepts on the programmes.

CBeebies has aired Swashbuckle since 2013.
