BBC Children's and Education is the BBC division responsible for media content for children in the UK.

CBBC is aimed at children aged between 6 and 12, and CBeebies offers content for younger viewers.

CBBC broadcasts from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm and CBeebies broadcasts from 6:00 am to 7:00 pm, respectively timesharing with BBC Three for CBBC and BBC Four for CBeebies.
