Who is Learning Time with Timmy for?

Learning Time with Timmy is designed for children aged two to six learning English as an additional language. It is also perfect for very young children whose first language is English as they develop their vocabulary.

Introducing English to your child between the ages of two and six allows them:

  • to learn English when it comes to them most naturally
  • to learn English at the best age to master good pronunciation
  • to improve their language skills and self-confidence.  

Why has the British Council partnered with Aardman?

Aardman is an Academy Award®-winning British animation studio based in Bristol, UK. Their much-loved creations include Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Chicken Run. 

Their TV show Timmy Time is for two to six-year-olds. Timmy is a little lamb with a lot to learn. This makes him an ideal character for young children because they can relate to Timmy’s experiences. At nursery, Timmy learns how to share things and think about other people's feelings – not just his own. 

We approached Aardman to partner with us because Timmy’s stories capture the imaginations of very young children, and deepen their engagement in the learning process. They are the perfect way to allow your child to learn new words in context and to bring our English teaching to life.
