Netflix keeps children entertained for hours!

Netflix is good because all my friends access so we share thoughts and compare programmes to make recommendations. Its good for adults and youngsters however need to be careful that it not overused. There has to be mix and matched with the right channels otherwise you watch the same programme all the time.

Movie night with the family, cuddled up under a blanket with lots of homemade treats made with the children during the day.

My daughter is 18 months now and is just starting to be able to sit for a period of time to watch things. We watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs recently with popcorn and snacks cosied up on the sofa.

We've been watching lots of Dr Who - Classics and Modern :D

Netflix is where my daughter (3) first saw a Disney film. She loved it and asks to watch Netflix movies all the time now! The best part is when I get to choose myself. I've watched both series' of orange is the new black in two days and all the louis theroux docs in one weekend. It's wonderful!
What I like the most is how it remembers where you were so you can just get back to it if you're very rudely interrupted.
My daughter is now in to spongebob and barbie too.

At the moment I don't watch netflicks but when I do start I will be connecting the tablet to the TV and we will be having family film nights (or wet afternoons). I might even treat the children to hotdogs and popcorn if they are good

Tablets are great for the summer especially because of Netflix it means all the kids programmes can be watched all over the house whatever the weather!

Now my daughter is 12 I'm lucky that we like a lot of the same programmes. We have been watching Glee and have now started on Buffy The Vampire Slayer - so easy with Netflix!

I let DS1 choose what he wants to watch on a rainy day, the Kids section is awesome and gives him free reign as to what he wants.

I am now working from home and putting netflix on for the children has been great.

Was also very useful during an impromptu BBQ to keep all 7 children occupied.

When we need some quiet time, theres always something to watch

My 4yo daughter loves netflix there is always something to watch and the films don't end up scratched and unwatchable like her dvd's do!

Plenty of movie nights! Popcorn, goodies and a good film for all the family

We love dr who the whole family watches dr who on a Friday and Saturday night on netflix
Its also awesome when it's a miserable day as the kids movies really good
Also the grown ups love breaking bad

Netflix is perfect for keeping my cousins kids quiet when I'm babysitting them and also has the same effect on my other half which is even better!

For days like today when our little town is flooding... Netflix day with the kids it is!! First up, Toy Story 3!! :)

We watch our movies when we go camping in our tent! :)

We love snuggling down to watch the new release family movies on rainy days. The cinema is too expensive these days so this feels like a treat.

Mine love watching nature programmes, especially of blue seas and big fish.

Netflix is a life savour I have it on my tablet and it keeps my 2 yo Boy occupied while I get ready in the morning. Despite the black out blind the sunshine has been creeping through the gaps in his room and we have had some very early starts this summer. He climbs into Mummy's bed and watches Spongebob or Peppa while I wake up and get ready. Thank you Netflix....my hero :)

It's great for watching on my tablet anywhere I like!

My grandchildren like to watch the films on i-pads when we go for a day out. They take turns in choosing what to watch as the ages range from nearly two up to eleven.

We love sitting on the sofa and watching a movie together, but if my son is bored he will use Netflix Kids and watch iCarly or something similar.

netflix on the ipads is the best thing EVER!!! we travelled to cornwall this summer holidays, it took over 4 hours and we didnt get a peep out of our 3 sons. we always try to sit down together early on a friday evening and catch up with something fun to watch. The boys are obsessed with lego ninjago on netflix....surprisingly not one of my faves!!! i love orange is the new black....addictive!
