How to get the CBeebies Storytime app
The all-new CBeebies Storytime has arrived! The app has a new look, is even easier for children to use and we’ve refreshed our CBeebies Storytime library with brand new stories for your child to enjoy.
About the app
CBeebies Storytime introduces children to a world of stories through beautiful, interactive story books. The app aims to inspire a love of stories in every child in the UK and support early years reading. The stories in the app promote CBeebies’ core values, with themes of inclusivity, sharing, friendship and more. There are two reading modes to choose from, so children can read independently or with a grown-up. All the stories are free to download, with no in-app purchases.
Settle down with the CBeebies Bedtime Stories collection, have fun at the beach with Mr Tumble, join Peter Rabbit and friends as they go on an adventure, have a carnival party with JoJo & Gran Gran, go on a treasure hunt with Love Monster, say goodnight with Moon and Me and more!
Storytime features playful interactions, popular CBeebies characters, well-loved authors, and high-quality stories so children can enjoy reading, playing, and learning. Our app seeks to support traditional physical books by offering a magical interactive journey that encourages a love of stories and an immersive reading experience for children.
