Golden Bear Signs for The Baby Club

Golden Bear have signed as plush partner for The Baby Club, in a deal brokered by Rockpool
Licensing.
 
The third series of the hit BBC commission launched last month and is presented by Giovanna
Fletcher and Nigel Clarke. An on-screen baby club, the show is broadcast twice daily on CBeebies. 60
episodes and many songs are now available on BBC iPlayer. As a regular feature in the CBeebies top
viewing charts, The Baby Club has been a major success since its launch in 2019 and has become a
lifeline for little ones and their grown-ups, especially during lockdown.
Golden Bear will be developing plush based on the growing family of characters featured in the
show, beginning with Baby Bear, who appears with Giovanna and Nigel and stars in all activities, play,
songs and stories.  
 
Tracy Griffiths, Head of Brand and Licensing Golden Bear commented “We’re delighted to be on
board and can’t wait to launch a range of fun, innovative plush which reflect the TV programme’s
ethos of baby development, exploration and parental empowerment.   Golden Bear are looking
forward to Baby Bear joining our strong portfolio and encouraging real-world play and interaction,
inspired by The Baby Club’s on-screen activities.”
 
Vickie O’Malley, MD Rockpool Licensing, added “Fans of The Baby Club have been clamouring for
Baby Bear plush since the show launched and it’s a privilege to be working with such an esteemed
partner as Golden Bear to make this happen. We’re thrilled to be able to say, “They’re on their way!”

The Baby Club is a ground-breaking TV series made for CBeebies by Three Arrows Media, Tiny House

designed to help baby development, empower parents, aid bonding and attachment.
