In the Night Garden is a magical place that exists between the waking and sleeping imagination of children close to the representation of a nursery rhyme.
I have read that this show is intended to help children wind down and get ready for sleep. The scenes in the show are supposed to be dream-like. To be honest, my toddler daughter loves this show, but I think it is terrible. The characters speak in non-sensical language and all the characters and objects in the show have ridiculous names (e.g the train is called a Ninky Nonk). I feel that it hinders children's language development because of all the silly-speak. The narrator does use some normal language and he has a soothing voice, but he does not make up for the speech of the other characters. I find this show incredibly annoying and not at all beneficial for children. I do not allow my daughter to watch it anymore (Super Why and Sesame Street are far superior for pre-schoolers).moreless
