I'm looking to dump Sky being that we only really watch free to air channels and kids channels. Has anyone been able to find channels like Nickelodeon Jr/Disney Jr via a streaming service?

We were the same, paying $50 a month for the Disney channel essentially. We ditched sky and now the kids watch stuff of TV2 or Four or Netflix. and we save money so everyone is happy :)

Doing your best is much more important than being the best.

Netflix and Amazon both have massive childrens sections, with some really good content, that I have not seen elsewhere.

Netflix provides us with plenty for kids to watch. Been without Sky for the past 2 years without complaints :-)

Yup, the BBC kids' one is Cbeebies and has a good range of content for the little ones. Unblocking the UK and Aussie channels will get you loads of free content. You may not need to sub to any services, but if you do, Netflix and Hulu both have loads of content and are well worth it.

Alternatively to those services, UK's TVPlayer website has Cartoon Network and Boomerang on their 5-pounds a month Plus service (still a bit buggy but that's why it's so cheap - it's still in Beta). Sling TV's entertainment package (I think it's US$20 a month) gives you Cartoon Network and Disney Channel, and if you add the Kids Extra package (I think it's another $5) the you get Disney Jr and Disney XD as well as others. So there's lots to choose from depending on your desired level of spend.

Another vote for BBC iplayer; my kids have access to UK Netflix, NZ Freeview and BBC iPlayer; 80% of their viewing is BBC

Apple TV has Disney Junior, Disney XD and Disney Channel apps. A lot of the content is locked and requires a cable subscription to access, but you can access the latest episodes of all their series for free. Keeps my four year old happy. Apple TV also has PBS Kids which is completely free, plus there's Netflix and Hulu both of which have fantastic kids content, and a bunch of other apps appearing in the App Store. One my 7 year old particularly likes is called Go Noodle, it's used by a lot of schools in the States (and here) and gets kids exercising, dancing and moving around to fun videos. Go Noodle is free. There are also Nick and Nick Jr apps in the App Store, which appear to be free to use, however they don't seem to currently work through UnoTelly (I've put in a channel request to ask them to unlock this).
