At bedtime
A great story to end the day – and sometimes the spark for a great conversation.
Stories children love. Skills for life, woven in.
Encouraging every child to grow up optimistic, confident and ready for whatever life brings. Totchi is a world of brilliant audio stories for children aged 3–11, made to entertain while helping them explore themselves, other people and the world around them. A growing library of stories for bedtime, car journeys, quiet moments and everything in between – each one encouraging optimism, confidence and resilience, without ever feeling like a lesson.
Totchi fits into everyday life
One app. Hundreds of moments.
In the car
Turn the school run or a long journey into an adventure.
Before something new
Starting school, moving house, a first sleepover, a new sibling or a big match.
When life doesn’t go to plan
Friendship problems, disappointment, worries, losing, making mistakes or simply having a bad day.
Just because
Not every story needs to solve something. Sometimes children simply want to laugh, imagine and explore.
How it works
Four small steps. One big adventure.
Set things up on your phone, then let your child listen on their tablet or stream to a speaker.

See where it leads
Sometimes it’s simply a brilliant story. Sometimes it sparks a question or conversation. And sometimes it gives a child a new way of looking at something. That’s the magic of Totchi.
Why parents choose Totchi
Great stories with something more inside
Children don’t need another lesson. They need stories and characters that capture their imagination. Between the ages of 3 and 11, children need guidance and support as they navigate new experiences. But too often, parents are expected to teach, comfort and entertain their children, without access to the right tools. That’s why Totchi was created. Behind every Totchi adventure are carefully considered principles, woven around some of life’s most important skills:
Optimism
Learning to see possibilities, even when things don’t go to plan.
Confidence
Trusting themselves and becoming comfortable with who they are.
Resilience
Discovering that mistakes, setbacks and difficult days are part of growing up.
Empathy
Learning to understand what other people might be thinking and feeling.
Emotional intelligence
Finding the words to understand and express their own emotions.
Curiosity
Approaching new people, experiences and ideas with an open mind.
Who’s Totchi for?
Made for your child
Every child is different. Different personalities. Different interests. Different families. Different experiences. Different ways of seeing the world. That’s exactly as it should be. Totchi isn’t about fixing children. It’s about helping them discover more about themselves and the world around them. Our stories reflect childhood in all its variety, so every child can find characters, adventures and moments that feel familiar – alongside plenty that open up entirely new worlds.
For everyday adventures
Starting school, making friends, trying a new food or getting ready for bed. Explore stories inspired by the little moments that can feel very big to your child.
For different ways of thinking
Our Busy Brains and Wiggles and Wonders collections invite children to explore different ways of thinking, feeling and moving. They’re for any curious child, including neurodivergent children and siblings or friends who want to understand one another better.
For the joy of a good story
Your child doesn’t need a worry to work through. Sometimes, they just fancy an adventure. Press play, meet a character and see where their imagination takes them.
For families, schools and businesses
Make everyday moments count.
Totchi gives parents a growing library of stories children genuinely want to hear, with something valuable woven into every adventure.
At Totchi, we believe resilience and optimism are among the most valuable things a child can carry with them. We’re here to help, one story at a time.
Listen together or let them explore independently.
Stories that spark classroom conversations.
Bring conversations about optimism, confidence and emotional intelligence naturally into the school day.
Totchi is designed to fit PSHE, circle time, classroom discussions and quiet moments, giving teachers an easy, engaging resource that children enjoy.
A family benefit the whole family can share.
Supporting employees means recognising that life doesn’t stop when the working day ends.
Offering Totchi gives parents something practical and positive for their children – and gives employers a distinctive way to support the whole family.
Our approach
Serious thinking. Brilliant storytelling.
From the words your child hears to the music playing underneath, here’s what goes into a Totchi adventure.
Thoughtfully developed
Every Totchi story is shaped by ideas from child development, optimism and emotional intelligence. The stories were developed with input from an experienced therapist, and mental health nurses Robert and Shanti Boodhun, who have more than 30 years in the NHS, have written reviews of the collection.
Child-first
The story always comes first. If children don’t love listening, nothing else matters.
Positive by design
Totchi isn’t only there when something is wrong. It’s there for the everyday too, with confidence, curiosity and optimism woven into every story.
Made for real life
No complicated programmes. No homework. No pressure.
Choose a story. Press play.
Countless adventures. Characters they’ll fall in love with.
Whatever today brings, there’s a Totchi story for it.
- A new school.
- A difficult friendship.
- A football match.
- A family holiday.
- A rainy Sunday.
