Cartoonito is a cheerful preschool channel made for children roughly two to six. The tone is calm, friendly and easy to follow, with short episodes, simple stories and lots of repetition so little ones can join mid episode without feeling lost. This page gives you a live player for instant viewing and a tidy daily guide that shows what is on now, what starts next and the exact time tonight’s blocks begin. All timings are presented in UK time. The layout is clear enough for kids to recognise their favourite characters and practical for parents who want to plan around meals, bath time and bedtime.

How the day is planned
Mornings begin gently with bright colours, songs and simple routines to ease into the day. Late morning to early afternoon adds light problem solving and friendship themes. After school the pace picks up slightly with playful action that still stays age appropriate. Early evening shifts to calmer story time energy and dialogue light comedy that works well before bed. When the channel runs a marathon or a themed hour, the guide here reflects the change so you always see the correct start times.

Picture and sound
Cartoonito is widely available in high definition on supported devices. Expect crisp lines, bright colours and smooth motion even during faster chases or dancing segments. Streaming usually runs a few seconds behind over the air reception. That small delay is normal and helps keep playback stable on variable connections.
Access note
This live stream is intended for viewers in the UK and Ireland. Programme rights can differ by territory and by season, which may affect availability when you travel. Some devices also enforce region settings automatically.
Live viewing reminder
In the UK, watching any television channel live, whether on a TV platform or through a streaming player, requires a TV Licence. On demand viewing is treated differently, but live channels fall under the licence rules.
