[=CBeebies=] is a channel created by Creator/TheBBC for kids aged 1-6, a younger children's version of Creator/{{CBBC}}, the channel for 6-12-year-olds. There are shows ranging from science, art, to learning about vegetables and fruits to learning British Sign Language to cooking for children. It was launched on 11th February 2002.

The channel shares bandwidth with BBC Four, which used to take over after [=CBeebies=] signs off for the day, and ran until morning when they would sign off to give way to [=CBeebies=] again.

The channel is compared to Creator/{{ITV}}'s Creator/{{CITV}} and Creator/Channel5's Milkshake! slot a lot.

The BBC's Studios arm also transmits an international feed of [=CBeebies=], of which there are several notable differences. Firstly, the channel runs 24 hours and does not shut down for the night, mainly because it has to cater to many different countries and it doesn't need to share bandwidth with other channels, being funded by subscription. Secondly, it has licenses to shows that otherwise belong to other networks in the UK (e.g. ''WesternAnimation/{{Humf}}'') and also does not carry several shows that are broadcast by the UK version because the rights of those went to different provider (e.g. ''WesternAnimation/PostmanPat'', which in Asia was snapped up by Creator/CartoonNetwork for its Creator/{{Boomerang}} network, and ''WesternAnimation/{{Chuggington}}'', whose rights in Asia remained with Creator/{{Disney}} and is seen on Creator/DisneyJunior instead). And lastly, it is also often transmitted in multiple languages; some cable TV providers carry up to three different language audio feeds for its shows. The Scottish Gaelic channel, BBC Alba, has a [=CBeebies=] block that airs on weekdays featuring Gaelic presenters.

For the American equivalent, see Creator/PBSKids.

!!Tropes that apply to [=CBeebies=]:
* {{Animesque}}: The bugs from the 2023 rebrand have a noticeably more chibi appearance.
* BathroomControl: ''The Bobinogs'': In "Wash, Soap, Rinse and Dry", the band makes plans to go on a hot air balloon for [[BirthdayEpisode Nib's birthday]]. Nib says she needs to use the bathroom before they leave, but the other two are too excited to pay attention to her statement and tell her to go later.
* ExcitedKidsShowHost: Type 1 for the live-action hosts and the presenters. Some of the more informative shows (eg, ''Nina and the Neurons'' and ''Maddie's Do You Know?'') have their presenters/hosts border more on the Type 3 category despite the difference in an age range.
* GoToSleepEnding: The channel closes down every night with a montage of the channel's characters going to sleep with a goodnight song playing in the background.
* LongRunners: The channel's original branding. While some bumpers were retired over the years, the overall theme of the channel lasted 21 years before being refreshed.
* SesameStreetCred: The bedtime stories often have celebrities reading out stories.
