Playhouse Disney is a British Television Channel, the sister channel of Disney Channel. it is also aired in Ireland.

In September, 2007, the channel logo in the external promotionals (programme press releases, promos for terrestrial TV) was changed to include the inscription "Channel" as in all Playhouse Disney Europe channels, but in the channel itself the logo was not changed. This move probably is to differentiate the channel from the US block 'Playhouse Disney', all mornings on Disney Channel USA.

A 25 minute timeshift service of the channel named Playhouse Disney +, launched on Tuesday 30 October 2007, on the same day that the Disney Channels were reshuffled on Sky, involving Disney Cinemagic and Disney Cinemagic +1 moving down the EPG, to enable Playhouse Disney to move up the EPG to allow Playhouse Disney + to launch next to it on Sky 611 and 612, using the broadcasting spectrum (but not the hosting channel #170) of the now defunct channel ABC1.
