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.

Welcome to The Zeepy Sleep Podcast, a calming bedtime story for kids designed to help children feel safe and settled, even when things feel a little different at night.
In The Wrong Kind of Dark, Kip the Kitty finds a small hedgehog curled up in the café garden; not sleeping, just hiding. The hedgehog has wandered too far from its burrow, and now the dark doesn't feel right. The lights are too bright, the smells are too sweet, and the sounds are ones its ears don't know. Instead of telling the hedgehog not to worry, Kip sits beside it quietly, and then gently helps it discover that some things about the night are the same wherever you are. The same cool air. The same stars. The same gentle hush when the world settles down.
This sleep story for kids explores a feeling many young children know well: the worry that comes when things around you don't match what you expect. Bedtime in a new room, a different bed, or even just a night that feels somehow "off." Rather than dismissing that worry, this episode shows children that their feelings make sense, and that comfort can be found rather than forced.
💜 What your child will experience:
A gentle story that validates bedtime worry without feeding it
Soothing sensory details that slow breathing and settle the body
A model of calm companionship, sitting with feelings, not fixing them
Narrated by Slumber the Sloth in Zeepy's signature unhurried style
Ideal for children aged 2–6

Welcome to The Zeepy Sleep Podcast. Tonight we're sharing The Dancing Fireflies, a special Zeepy Sleep soundscape preview set in the Starlight Forest.
It's dusk in the forest, and small lights lift and drift between the trees. A soft, glowing wash of sound, like watching fireflies trace the dark. Nothing builds and nothing rushes — it just keeps your child company as the day settles.
💛 What your child will experience:
A gentle settling soundscape, set in the Starlight Forest
A soft drift of sound like fireflies looping through the dark — glowing, unhurried, with nowhere to be
No words and no story to follow — just calm music with a slow shape that eases downward and inward
Something to share the quiet with: under a bedtime story, while pyjamas go on, or left playing softly once you've left the room
A soft backdrop for the last part of the evening, as the lights go down
Ideal for children aged 2–6 — for the wind-down, before sleep begins
This preview is designed to be played at a low volume in a dim or dark room, as your child winds down. Unlike a story with a plot or a meditation to follow, a settling soundscape asks nothing of your child — it's gentle sound to rest against while the day lets go. Play it however fits your evening.
Part of Zeepy's growing world of calming bedtime stories, sleep stories, meditations and music, this special preview offers a peaceful glimpse of the settling content coming to the Zeepy app.
