Saying Goodbye to CBeebies

October 9, 2015 by geekmummy 1 Comment

Happy Kids growing up fast

I love CBeebies, the UKs dedicated television channel for pre-schoolers from the BBC. Both my kids have grown up with such gems as Octonauts, Gigglebiz, Old Jack’s Boat, Tree Fu Tom and more, all thanks to this channel. I have always taken the attitude that my kids can watch anything that CBeebies shows, with the […]

Geronimo – A new Family Festival in Cheshire

June 10, 2015 by geekmummy 2 Comments

Geronimo Family Festival logo

Geronimo is a new family festival, which took place at Tatton Park in Cheshire over the late May Bank Holiday weekend. It’s aimed at families with children up to the age of about 12. We were invited to check it out, and whilst I’d originally planned to take the whole family, the geekson was poorly […]

A Preview of The Furchester Hotel

September 22, 2014 by geekmummy 1 Comment

Both kids loved meeting Cookie Monster

A few months ago the geek-kids and I were invited along to a very special event at the CBeebies studios in Manchester. We were to view a first cut of the very first episode of their new series, The Furchester Hotel, and we would also get the chance to go behind the scenes and see […]

Learning all about CBeebies Magazine

CBeebies Magazine cover

The geekson and I were invited to a special event held by CBeebies Magazine at the Alton Towers hotel. We were told it would be a morning of fun activities, and we were promised a very special guest at the end as well. We’d already been told about the summer promotion that CBeebies Magazine are running […]

Kids App Review: CBeebies Playtime gets a major update

February 26, 2014 by geekmummy Leave a Comment

CBeebies Playtime App logo

Last summer I was invited to the CBeebies studios in Manchester where the geekdaughter and I had an early look at the CBeebies Playtime app before it was released. A couple of weeks ago I was granted early access to the latest update to the app, which adds one brand new mini game, and re-brands […]

CBeebies Playtime App Launches (Review)

August 15, 2013 by geekmummy 2 Comments

CBeebies Playtime app - Tree Fu Tom

Yesterday the geekdaughter and I took a little trip to Media City in Manchester to visit the CBeebies offices. We’d had an intriguing invitation to see a “new product”, which we were told was under embargo. I had assumed it would be a new show of some kind, but no, when we got there we […]

The one where we almost meet Justin Fletcher

August 16, 2012 by geekmummy 3 Comments

I’ve been fortunate that this blog has brought me some opportunities to do some fun stuff that I wouldn’t normally get to do. Sometimes I even get to do fun stuff with the kids as well, and even the geekdaddy has managed to get in on the action a few times. For as long as […]

CBeebies iPlayer for the kids

September 6, 2010 by geekmummy Leave a Comment

The geekdaughter, like all the other toddlers I know, loves CBeebies. I love CBeebies too – I haven’t yet found a show on that channel which I wouldn’t want her to watch. Excellent quality programmes, entertaining and educational. The challenge of course is balancing the official advice that toddlers should not watch too much television […]
