Welcome to The Zeepy Sleep Podcast: a calming bedtime story for kids designed to help children settle into the gentle truth that some evenings need nothing at all.

In "The Forest Lies Down," Slumber the Sloth makes his slow way to Sky Mirror Pond, where a small beetle is wondering what they should do this evening. Together, they simply watch: as the water goes still enough to hold the moon, the fern-shadows, and one softly blinking firefly. Nothing needs fixing. Nothing needs finding. The calm itself is the treasure. Through Zeepy's warm, unhurried storytelling, children discover that a quiet evening isn't empty; it's full of small, beautiful things already there.

💜 What your child will experience:

• A soothing sleep story that models stillness as something cozy and complete
• Gentle sensory images (cool moss, honeyed moonlight, a firefly reflected in still water) that naturally slow breathing and settle the body
• A co-regulation moment where characters breathe together with the clearing: no instructions, just a soft invitation to be present
• A reassuring reminder that peaceful evenings are enough, just as they are
• Ideal for children aged 2–6

Welcome to The Zeepy Sleep Podcast; a calming bedtime story for kids, designed to help children feel safe with big feelings, especially the quiet ache of wanting something that went to someone else.

In "The Last Shortbread Moon," Kip the Kitty has been looking forward to the last shortbread biscuit in the copper tin all afternoon. But when a friend arrives having a hard day, the treat goes to someone else, and Kip is left with a tight, prickly feeling she doesn't have a name for yet. With the help of a warm and patient friend, Kip discovers that her feeling isn't bad or greedy; it's just a wanting ache, and it's a kind one. Through Zeepy's gentle storytelling, children hear their own "not fair" feelings reflected back without judgment, and learn that love and closeness are never used up, even when not everyone gets the same treat.

💜 What your child will experience:

• A gentle, honest story about jealousy, sharing, and feeling left out, without shame or correction
• Warm sensory details: butter-scented biscuits, soft lamplight, a cozy evening café
• The reassurance that wanting something doesn't make you greedy, and big feelings can be named and held
• A soothing sleep story for kids aged 2-6, perfect for calming bedtime routines

Welcome to The Zeepy Sleep Podcast; a calming bedtime story for kids designed to help children feel connected and held, even when someone they love feels far away.

In The Wish That Went Both Ways, a little hedgehog can't settle to sleep because someone dear to him is far away tonight. Slumber the Sloth finds him curled among the roots and walks him through the moonlit forest to a glowing tree that holds the quiet wishes of every creature who ever passed its way. Together they tie a wish to a low branch, and discover that somewhere far away, a matching wish is rising to meet it under the very same stars. Through Zeepy's gentle storytelling, children learn that the people we miss are never truly out of reach; the same sky holds us all.

💜 What your child will experience:

• Honest reassurance for the ache of missing someone: validated, never dismissed
• A calming story-world of fireflies, honeysuckle, and softly glowing bark
• A gentle breathing moment woven naturally into the narrative
• A soothing wind-down that supports your calming bedtime routine
• Ideal for children aged 2-6, and especially comforting during sleepovers, travel, or time spent between two homes

Welcome to The Zeepy Sleep Podcast; a calming bedtime story for kids designed to help little ones feel safe and settled, even when a trusted grown-up steps away at night.

In tonight's episode, The Warm Patch, the Moonbeam Cat Café is quiet and cosy, but small kitten Toby can't quite settle. Every time Kip the Kitty moves toward the stairs, Toby's eyes follow. Instead of saying "don't worry," Kip does something gentle and clever. She finds a small square of midnight-blue velvet, warms it with her paw, and lets Toby discover for himself that warmth can stay in one place even after someone kind has stepped away. Through soft repetition and a ribbon of moonlight connecting upstairs to down, children learn that leaving the room doesn't mean leaving… love stays exactly where it's placed.

💜 What your child will experience:

• A gentle, reassuring story for children who feel anxious when a parent leaves the room at bedtime
• A soothing "still warm?" repetition that naturally slows breathing and builds trust
• Cosy café sounds, soft moonlight, and a purring cat: no sudden noises, no tension left unresolved
• A calming bedtime routine story ideal for children aged 2–6

Part of Zeepy's growing collection of children's bedtime stories and sleep stories for kids, The Warm Patch supports calm bedtime routines and emotional confidence around separation at night.

Welcome to The Zeepy Sleep Podcast, a calming bedtime story for kids designed to help children settle when a busy or unfamiliar day leaves their minds too full for sleep.

In The Cricket Who Couldn't Get Quiet, a young cricket has spent the day somewhere new, beyond the familiar trees, among louder creatures and unfamiliar calls. Now that the forest is still, all those sounds are replaying inside him, layered and jumbled, and he can't find his own quiet chirp underneath. Slumber the Sloth, resting nearby on a low branch, doesn't tell him to stop worrying. Instead, he asks one gentle question, and together, they listen to each echo until it softens on its own.

This sleep story for kids captures something many parents recognise: a child who's had an exciting, overstimulating day and can't switch off at bedtime. New experiences replay louder in the quiet, and this episode shows children that those big impressions don't need to be pushed away, they just need a little room to settle.

💜 What your child will experience:

• A gentle model for calming an overstimulated mind after a new or busy day
• A soothing three-part rhythm that gradually slows breathing and lowers arousal
• A soft breathing moment woven naturally into the story
• Warm, cozy forest imagery with moonlight, thistledown, and fireflies
• The reassurance that their own calm is still there underneath the noise
• Ideal for children aged 2–6

Part of Zeepy's growing collection of children's bedtime stories and sleep stories for kids, this episode is perfect for calming bedtime routines — especially after first days, big outings, or any experience that leaves a little one buzzing at night. Kip the Kitty will return in future episodes, but tonight, Slumber's steady presence is exactly what's needed.

Welcome to The Zeepy Sleep Podcast. Tonight we're sharing Lantern Kip Keeps, a special Zeepy Sleep story preview set in the Moonbeam Cat Café.

In the quiet café after closing, a single amber lantern glows low, and Kip settles down beside it — cool wood beneath her, warm light at her side. Her breath and the lamplight keep the same slow rhythm, and the same few images return and soften until sleep arrives. Nothing happens here, and nothing needs to. It's a story for children who are already lying down, ready to drift the rest of the way.

💛 What your child will experience:

• A warm, still story with no plot to follow and nothing to solve
• One amber lantern and one resting cat, held in a slow, steady rhythm
• Gentle, repeating images that quieten as the story goes on
• The feeling of a safe room settling around them for the night
• A calm that asks nothing of them — just somewhere soft to land
• Best for children aged 2–6 who are already tucked in and drifting toward sleep

Play Lantern Kip Keeps low, in a dark or dimly lit room, once your little one is already in bed for the night. A sleep story isn't a wind-down story with a plot to follow — there's no adventure to stay awake for. It's a quiet presence you can leave running as they drift off, and as it fades, so does the room.

Part of Zeepy's growing world of calming bedtime stories, sleep stories, meditations and music, this preview is a peaceful glimpse of the Sleep content now waiting in the Zeepy app.

Welcome to The Zeepy Sleep Podcast; a calming bedtime story for kids designed to help little ones notice what their body needs so rest can gently arrive.

In tonight's episode, The Last Wrinkle, Kip the Kitty finishes her evening rituals at the Moonbeam Cat Café and settles into her favourite velvet cushion by the round window. But something small keeps pressing against her side. A lost spool of thread. A shortbread crumb. A tiny leaf blown in from the garden. One by one, Kip discovers each little thing, tends to it with gentle curiosity, and tries again, until the cushion finally holds her perfectly. Through Zeepy's soft storytelling, children learn that fidgeting and adjusting at bedtime isn't naughty, it's their body's quiet way of asking for comfort.

💜 What your child will experience:

• A calming bedtime story that normalises not being able to settle straight away
• A gentle, repeating rhythm that slows the body down naturally
• Soft sensory details that invite cosiness: velvet, warm lamplight, a single star
• A reassuring message: small discomforts are worth noticing and tending
• Modelled breathing and a soothing purr to ease the transition to sleep
• Ideal for children aged 2–6

If your child wriggles, adjusts their blanket, or says something "doesn't feel right" at bedtime, this sleep story for kids meets them exactly where they are, and shows them that making things comfortable is part of resting, not a delay to it.

Part of Zeepy's growing collection of children's bedtime stories and sleep stories for kids, this episode supports calming bedtime routines and helps children trust what their body is telling them.

Welcome to The Zeepy Sleep Podcast. Tonight we're sharing The Puddle, a special Zeepy Morning story preview set just outside the door of the Moonbeam Cat Café.

It rained in the night, and the morning smells of it — stone, ground, clean air. By the open door there's a small puddle holding the whole sky, clouds drifting slowly across it. Kip crouches down to read the weather in it, looks up at the real sky to check, and then jumps straight in.

💛 What your child will experience:

• The after-rain smell of a morning, noticed slowly and out loud
• A puddle holding the whole sky — clouds, light, and a flash of brightness when the sun finds a gap
• An invitation to look out of their own window and see what the day is doing
• The quiet confidence of knowing what's out there before you step into it
• A jump — on the spot, or on the bed, if they want one
• Something waiting on the other side of the wait, for a child learning to stay put until the light turns blue
• For children aged 2–6, for the part of the morning when they're properly awake and ready to move

Play this one in the morning rather than at bedtime — after the clock turns blue, at a low, comfortable volume, with the curtains open if you can. The wake pieces are the other end of the routine: something warm and a bit playful that arrives once the waiting is done, so staying in bed has a point to it. This isn't a plotted story with a problem to solve. Kip finds one small thing outside the door and stays with it, and your child is invited to look and move alongside her.

Part of Zeepy's growing world of calming bedtime stories, sleep stories, meditations and music, this special preview offers a peaceful glimpse of the Wake content coming to the Zeepy app.

Welcome to The Zeepy Sleep Podcast; a calming bedtime story for kids designed to help children who are still carrying the weight of a big day gently let go and settle into sleep.

In The Loud River, the forest river is running fast and loud after a day of heavy rain. A young badger arrives at Slumber the Sloth's oak tree too full of feeling to be still. Instead of asking what's wrong, Slumber simply invites her to sit beside the water and watch. Together, they listen as the river slowly finds its way back to quiet, and the badger discovers that big feelings, like rushing water, don't last forever when you stop trying to hold them back.

💜 What your child will experience:

• A gentle story that validates big feelings without trying to fix them
• Natural breathing cues woven into the narrative: no instructions, just rhythm
• A rich, rain-washed forest soundscape that gradually settles from loud to soft
• The reassuring message that strong emotions pass on their own, and steadiness is always underneath
• Ideal for children aged 2–6, especially those who struggle to wind down after a difficult or overstimulating day

Narrated by Ollie in Zeepy's signature warm, unhurried style, this sleep story for kids is especially helpful for children who resist bedtime when they're wound up, frustrated, or still buzzing with unresolved feelings. Alongside favourites like Kip the Kitty, Slumber and the forest visitors offer a calming bedtime routine your child can return to night after night.

Welcome to The Zeepy Sleep Podcast. Tonight we're sharing Kip and the Very Quiet Birds, a special Zeepy story preview set at the Moonbeam Cat Café, in the hush before dawn.

This story is from the Wait Phase in the Zeepy App. It’s for the moment your child wakes too early. Too early for the day to start, too awake to fall back asleep.

In the dark before the morning, the birds outside the café are already awake. Kip finds them, and for a while, they just keep each other company. It's a story for the early riser who wakes before the world does and feels like the only one up.

💛 What your child will experience:

• Kip's voice, first person, near-whisper, speaking straight to them
• The pre-dawn hush of the Moonbeam Cat Café, birds waking outside the window
• A sense that someone else is up too — they're not the only one awake
• No plot to follow, no ending to wait for, just company for a stretch of time
• A gentle way through the early-waking hour, not a push back toward sleep
• Best for children aged 2–6, for the mornings that start too soon

Play it low, in a dim room, the moment your child wakes before you're ready for the day to start. This isn't a wind-down story, and it isn't trying to get them back to sleep — some mornings, that's not on the cards. It's simply there so the too-early hour doesn't feel so lonely.
