Apparently Bedtime Stories have aired nearly every day since 2002, though I doubt they're all new (8000 episodes at one a day for 22 years? I think not - a lot will surely have been repeated a good few times... )
That's part true. As far as I know CBeebies Bedtime Stories has been running since launch however it wasn't officially named that until 2009. The oldest story I can find online is from 26 December 2002.
As for the iPlayer collection, right now 223 stories are available. The oldest story available is from 10 May 2017. Everything that's not in the iPlayer collection was reorganized as "Extras" on the programme page. I'm assuming that the stories available on iPlayer reflects CBeebies' current story rotation since older stories don't seem to air as much anymore (for example "Episode 1" last aired in 2021). I think they might add more eventually like they did with Totally Doctor Who being added to the Whoniverse collection, although I wouldn't count on anything that was read in the older Teddington/Television Centre sets being added anytime soon.
