Nickelodeon's new animated preschool series, Butterbean’s Café
Preschoolers will be whisked away on magical culinary adventures in Nickelodeon’s brand-new CG-animated series,
Butterbean’s Café, premiering Monday 4th February 2019 at 4:30pm on Nick Jr. UK and Ireland! Following launch, new episodes of
Butterbean’s Café will air regularly weekdays at 4:30pm, with each episode replayed the following weekday at 7:00am and 12:00pm, and at various times during the weekend on Nick Jr. UK & Eire.
Created by Robert Scull and Jonny Belt (

Butterbean’s Café, the series (40 episodes) centers on a fairy named Butterbean and her adventures running her neighborhood café and bakery, and showcases creative cooking and features a curriculum with social-emotional lessons that highlight kindness and gratitude, and leadership skills.
In the series, Butterbean, her fairy friends--Dazzle, Poppy and Jasper --and her little sister Cricket take pride in serving up healthy snacks and sweet treats to the residents in their community of Puddlebrook. Butterbean’s special magic beans, the fairies’ enchanted kitchen tools and the team’s can-do spirit all combine to make their cafe the most awesome eatery in town.
In
Butterbean’s Café’s series premiere, “The Grand Opening!,” Butterbean and her friends work together to make the opening of the café a success, while competing café owner Ms. Marmalady (voiced by Alysia Reiner of
