The best Easter TV for kids

The best Easter TV for kids

No matter what the weather, whether you’re at home or on the road (or rail), we’ve got all the ammo you need to keep your kids fully entertained this Easter

By Simon Ward, Content Editor

The Easter holidays are upon us. Which means that anything you can consume that’s egg-shaped, you ab-so-lutely will. We’re talking chocolate eggs. We’re talking actual eggs. We’re talking… um. OK, it’s really just those two things.

 

More stressful than choosing between two ovoids is keeping the kids entertained throughout the break. Fortunately, Virgin TV has you covered in that department with boredom-busting kids programmes available at the touch of a button.

 

On your all-singing, all-dancing telly box, there are hundreds of the best kids’ TV programmes available in On Demand > Kids (depending on your TV package) , including new episodes from plenty of their favourite shows. And because it’s in On Demand, they can watch them whenever they want. But better than that: they can watch them whenever you want.

 

Because it’s Easter, you’ll probably end up on a road (or rail) trip at some point. We’re here to help in that department as well, with the Virgin TV Go app. You can take all your kids’ entertainment with you, meaning they’ve got access to the programmes they love, no matter where you are, or what traffic jam or rail replacement service you end up in.

 

Back at the homestead, your TV box also has a fantastic range of channels including CBBC HD (CH 701), CITV (CH 734) and, depending on your package, Cartoon Network/HD (CH 704/732), Nickelodeon/HD (CH 712/714), Cartoonito (CH 706), Boomerang (CH 730) and Nicktoons (CH 717), to name just a few.

 

Plus, with the kids’ section of BBC iPlayer, plus the YouTube Kids app, we really have got all your bases covered.
