How BBC CBeebies Parenting can help you engage with expectant and new parents

BBC CBeebies Parenting

Abstract

When you first read the word ‘CBeebies’, did you think instantly of Hey Duggee, Bluey and Bedtime Stories?

What you might not know is that the channel also has a dedicated and vast online parenting hub, BBC CBeebies Parenting (formerly known as Tiny Happy People). The website is full of trusted tips, advice and resources, created in collaboration with a range of experts, including midwives, health visitors, speech and language therapists, early years leads and psychologists.

It is also a versatile tool you can use to support your work communicating with parents during the perinatal period and beyond.
