PRODUCT INFORMATION
Description
Are 5 am wake up calls part of the routine in your house?

The Groclock also comes with a beautifully illustrated book called 'Sleepy Farm' which helps encourage children to stay in bed longer, which means more sleep for them and more sleep for you!

Absolutely brilliant works really well. We love it13 May, 2021
Son loves it, so easy to use18 Mar, 2021
my 20mth old would wake at 4:30am every morning and refused to go back to sleep - jumping screaming crying. we introduced the clock on our gp’s recommendation. i had my doubts but it worked! it took a few nights but he now stays in his cot and is excited about the sun appearing on his clock.19 Jan, 2021
Our two year old has taken to the gro clock straight awayAnd now we all

My oldest has had one since he was 2 years old and I bought a second one for my second, they both stay in bed until 7 on the dot every morning now!18 Feb, 2020
It helps my three year old to know if it is time to get up yet. There have been less night disturbances since I started using it a few weeks ago.24 Dec, 2019
Like that this worked for us on the second day. Little guy only gets up to go to the loo between 7pm and 7am. Would recommend this product if you're at a loss at how to keep a toddler in bed for the night21 Oct, 2019
I don't know how parents manage without one!04 Oct, 2019
Great quality. Son loves it. Doesn't get out of bed until the sun comes out. The story is perfect for children to understand how the clock works. Clock was recommended to me, I totally recommend.10 Jun, 2019
Great concept just wish there was a way to permanently lock it all day long from little hands29 Apr, 2019
The product definitely works for my son. Stays in bed until the sun comes up every day! Perfect!24 Apr, 2019
My son LOVES his clock - would definitely recommend getting one of these for any little ones that get up early!18 Apr, 2019
Brought for my nephew who loves it, was a little difficult to set up16 Apr, 2019
The clock is great. My three year old now waits for the sun before getting up which is great and why we bought it. An added bonus is that when she wakes overnight she often goes back to sleep with little or no fuss or screaming as she knows its still nighttime and how far through the night it is. Didn’t expect this but it has dramatically reduced overnight wake ups too.09 Apr, 2019
Excellent interactive tool for a 2 or 3 year old.19 Mar, 2019
I like the large light, the time is displayed on the bottom and the star/sun is cute. My son likes watching the sun wink and turn into a Star18 Mar, 2019
So easy to use and our toddler stays in bed waiting for the sun to come up. Has a great child lock so inquisitive fingers can't make the sun come up early. Even makes going to bed easier.04 Feb, 2019
My little man was waking up between 5-5.30am most mornings we have now got him to stay in his room till 6 and have even pushed it back to 6.10 now.... it sounds small but makes a huge difference when you have a newborn!30 Jan, 2019
We had one for our eldest, so knew how it worked. Expected it to take a long time for #2 to grasp the idea, however he had it sorted within a couple of weeks - winning!28 Jan, 2019
Does the job well. Also acts as a night light.01 Jan, 2019
Love that our Grand daughter stays in bed until the sun comes out.Only thing is that she can change it herself
14 Dec, 2018
My 2.5 year old loves his clock and has stopped his early wake ups. Great clock, great concept.03 Dec, 2018
Love this product. Love that it is so visual and the stars count down to when then sun comes up.12 Nov, 2018
It really works, our 2 year old granddaughter understands the concept and generally responds appropriately.02 Nov, 2018
Great guide for the toddler to learn daytime and nighttime and the routine of saying bye bye to the yellow clock every evening08 Oct, 2018
This is a great clock for sleep training, my daughter is now staying in bed until the sun comes up on the clock. Would recommend to any parents looking for a sleep aid28 Sep, 2018
Has been extremely effective, I think navigating the menus could be more intuitive, Once set up it’s great!22 Sep, 2018
We have just bought our second Gro-Clock for our 3 year old daughter, after the first worked so well for our older boys.25 Aug, 2018
Our son loves saying goodnight to the sun and eagerly awaits to see it reappear in the morning. No more 5.30am wake ups in this house. Bliss25 Aug, 2018
This has been great at letting my 3 year old son know what time to get up and sleeping in linger than before. Only thing is setting it isn't intuitive so needed to look at the instructions a few times.24 Aug, 2018
Learning how to activate it is difficult until you get the hang of it. It would be a much better product if you set the time ranges that you wish your toddler to be asleep and it remembered them, rather than needing to activate it each time you put them down01 Aug, 2018
This has worked out great for my 2 year old transitioning from cot to bed and she already understands how it works18 Jul, 2018
Love it and my 4yr old can follow it well, great product11 Jul, 2018
Only took a few days to work!11 Jul, 2018
Super easy to use, took 2 days for my daughter to understand, now every morning she waits for the sun. 100% recommend.10 Jul, 2018
Amazing! My daughter will not leave her room until the sun comes up. Before we had her in our bed most nights.05 Jul, 2018
I feel like it's been an effective way to sleep-train my child. On days he wakes up early, he seems happy to have his Gro Clock for company until the yellow screen comes on and it's 'wakey' time.04 Jul, 2018
Such an easy concept that my 3 year old understood the idea of how it worked straight away. She had been waking for months and I think it may have been due to feeling disorientated with how early it was, so the clock has now fully solved that. Thank you!!02 Jul, 2018
Once your child understands and starts saying goodnight to the sun your child is hooked! Even if they wake early they lie in bed waiting for the sun before getting up14 Jun, 2018
Fast delivery and very easy to use12 Jun, 2018
It has been awesome. Only took a few nights for my 3 year old to work it out and surprisingly he actually stays in bed now until the sun shows on the clock even if he wakes 30 min before. I cant believe it actually worked and even when we are away from home. He gets really excited when the sun shows and comes running in to get me so he can show me too. My son by no means is a quiet so I’m very surprised it has worked and very happy.
30 May, 2018
Love it24 May, 2018
Great product. It has helped to teach my children appropriate wake up times and with the conscience of an alarm it helps get them up for school.14 May, 2018
Great product, the only added feature that would be great is temperature24 Apr, 2018
Easy to navigate and change. Easy to set each night. Good child lock option! Like how you can dim or brighten night light.23 Apr, 2018
Such an easy concept for little people to understand with sun & moon for night and day, (our daughter is 3). She fiddles with the buttons a bit which is a downside but that's not major as easy to do a quick check before we go to bed at night that it's all set.16 Apr, 2018
The Gro-Clock has been an excellent tool in helping train my daughter to sleep in in the morning. The functions are not always the easiest to navigate but by keeping the manual handy it’s easier.08 Apr, 2018
Its very easy to use, though so easy my son changes the time on it so always have to double check it's correct before I set it for the night. A kiddie lock button would be good.29 Mar, 2018
Great as a night light and helps to teach toddler about night/day and the passing of time. Highly recommend.28 Mar, 2018
Easy to use and concept works extremely well. No more early wake ups... especially on the weekend!11 Dec, 2017
Simple26 Sep, 2017
Weird menu/settings.26 Sep, 2017
Master 2.5 enjoys saying goodnight to the sun and hello to the stars as he goes to bed at night. He understands that he needs to stay in bed until the sun comes up in the morning. Re-setting it can be a bit fiddly at times, but overall we love this product.
22 Sep, 2017
Once the clock was set up correctly, my 3 year old daughter really loved it and has stayed in her bed until the sun comes up 99% of the time. I'm happy.21 Sep, 2017
Really happy with the product ! Really fast shipping
15 Sep, 2017
Best purchase - we have a 3year old that stays in bed all night because of the Gro Clock. I wish we could dim the screen down even more so, however a great product overall.10 Sep, 2017
Love the grow clock. Miss 2 had no trouble understanding the concept of staying in bed until the clock was yellow. It's been great!31 Aug, 2017
We are using the clock to teach our son (3yrs), to stay in his bed and not to call out to mum during the early hours, until 7am. OMGoodness, it has been a God Send, I wish we had heard of it earlier, he would call out to me two to three times in the night and I would have to go and sleep with him to try and get him back to sleep, as he thought it was time to get up at 4am (very grumpy mum too I must add), but with the use of this clock, he wakes up and knows he can't get up or call out until the sun comes up. The best item we have ever bought. Thank you. And the story is great also.15 Aug, 2017
My son is only 2 years and 3 months and he just moved to his big bed from his cot, after waking early every morning (sometimes 4:00am) we decided to try the gro clock. The very first night we read the story and I explained what it was and what he had to do. We set it for 6am. The next morning my son woke before 6 and called out for me, I laid in his bed with him until the sun on the clock appeared and then made a very big deal about being able to get up. The next night he woke again before 6am and stayed in his bed till the sun appeared. Since then he has never got off his bed until the sun has come on. I would recommend the groclock to anyone over and over. It was worth every cent. Thank you12 Aug, 2017
This is working really well for our almost 2 year old boy. Most mornings he knows it's time to wake/get up when the sun comes up!12 Aug, 2017
It's working! Thank goodness, my son loves to say goodnight to the sun and then waits for the sun to come up to leave his room. :)08 Aug, 2017
Wonderful07 Aug, 2017
This is money well spent! My 5am waker now wakes at 7 every morning from the day I turned on the gro clock. Best thing I ever brought I love it!03 Aug, 2017
It's not super simple to set up, but it seems to be working for us so far!02 Aug, 2017
Has worked great. Most mornings or soon has stayed in bed until the clock lights up.31 Jul, 2017
Really good product our toddler has always woken throughout the night and since we had our baby she was getting up several times a night. Since we bought the gro clock she sleeps through most nights as waits for the sun on the clock to come up. I would definitely recommend this to any parents that are struggling has been a huge help 31 Jul, 2017
It's great and works very well for my child. As long as you can put it on a high shelf where your child can't reach it to bring the sunshine up.27 Jul, 2017
Was great for my 3 year old. She now stays in bed till the 'sun' comes up! Yay for us as there is no more 4-5am visits! She picked up the concept very quickly and the wee book that goes with it is an easy wee story to help solidify the concept.25 Jul, 2017
Has worked wonders with my son! Now sleeps beyond the time when it turns yellow and he knows when the screen is blue to go back to sleep and that it's too early. It's a mission waking him up now but hey I don't mind the sleep ins!20 Jul, 2017
It took us two weeks to get used to it. We were reading a book every time we woke up earlier then Clock showed the sun. But after two weeks it is not happening any more. We all very happy! My son's behavior got better as well as he gets enough sleep now. I used a sticker chart as well to give a sticker every time he wakes up with a sun. This clock is very simple and very easy to use but changed our life hugely!15 Jul, 2017
Works well easy to use for my just over 2 year old14 Jul, 2017
Love it!13 Jul, 2017
Great way to communicate awake time for toddlers11 Jul, 2017
Cute star helps son know just when he can get out of bed.30 Jun, 2017
Hard to set time but once it works it is great!!29 Jun, 2017
My 2 year old grandson loves it and gets so excited when the sun comes up27 Jun, 2017
This clock has been amazing for our 3 year old who kept waking at 5am. He loves it and generally stays in bed until the 'sun' comes up on the Groclock which he thinks is a real novelty!23 Jun, 2017
Our 7 year old grandson is using the clock. He took a while to work out how to set it each night but is fine now. It would have been better if it could be set once for a wake up time every day until changed. He also got confused between the symbols for night time and afternoon sleep (which he does not use). Overall, once mastered, the clock works well for someone not yet able to tell the time.20 Jun, 2017
These have been great for both our 2 year old and our 4 year old. They are easy to set and easy for the kids to use.15 Jun, 2017
It worked for my 4 year old! Very happy with the product. Kiddy lock would be good10 Jun, 2017
Love the book that comes with it, love that it has the actual time on it. It's helped get my 4yo daughter in to bed at night too and it's easy enough for her to set to 10 Jun, 2017
Highly recommend the product, now the kids stay in their room until a reasonable hour in the morning09 Jun, 2017
Very easy to use. My toddler loves it and found it easy to understand the concept (although he chooses to ignore it when it suits him!).09 Jun, 2017
Love the Gro Clocks! We actually get to sleep till 7.30am now instead of 5am!26 Aug, 2019
It's a great clock. The control panel is easy to use once you remember how many times to press things. If your kid decides not to care what the clock tells them to do though, then is just a slightly pricey cool clock.
13 May, 2019
This clock is great for my daughter as its easy to count the stars and know when its time to get up. Love it.17 Apr, 2019
Great resource, but feel it is better suited to slightly older age than advertised. Works well for 4.5 year old but not so much for 2.5 year old.09 Apr, 2019
Great product except my child can pull it out of the wall and then "sun broken" and she gets out of bed to get me19 Feb, 2019
This has worked a treat for our 2.5yr old girl. She was waking around 5:15am and coming to join us in bed. Not ideal......She has picked up the concept of the clock quickly and understands its meaning - because we have explained it and reinforced it as necessary.
As with most things, this will only work if the parents are firm enough to stay the course. If you sook up and don’t appropriately encourage/enforce the behavioural change, it won’t work. The clock is just a mechanism, the real change is down to you.
Good luck.

I’ve actually used this gro clock for a number of years for my daughter. I love it and it does work. It’s pictures are easy for her to understand and we always ask the sun if it’s time for bed as our bedtime routine and we will often read the book for fun. Things I don’t like about this clock but haven’t been able to find a decent replacement for it is it’s lack of battery back up. Which means if we have a blackout or we take the clock to someone else’s house for a sleep over we constantly have to set up the time again and lastly this is also my second gro clock in just 2 years as the picture display on the first basically broke down from daily use and I couldn’t see enough pixels to be able to set the time if the electricity got disconnected. It’s also a clock you need to put up high if you have little curious hands or else they can quite easily get into the settings and change things around if left in little peoples grasp.
27 Aug, 2018
Love it. If there was a setting to ‘lock’ it during the day it would get a perfect score from us. Despite that, we still love it and would recommend it to anyone with young children!22 Jun, 2018
Seems to have been working well. I would have liked backup batteries so that it's still the same time when my daughter pulls it out of the wall. Also it would be great to have a child lock on it.19 Jun, 2018
Tough enough to survive in the boys bedroom. Ui is a bit clunky - would be easier to set times etc if it had a few more buttons.18 Jun, 2018
Controls are a little fiddly and accessible to the toddler! Other than that it's doing the job. Story book that comes with it is great.27 May, 2018
It's much smaller than I expected but very effective.27 Mar, 2018
It helped our kid stay in bed in the morning which was the desired result. They messed with the buttons trying to unlock it (sometimes successfully) but got bored with that after a few days. Easy enough to operate. Not sure why people say it isn’t easy to operate?!
27 Sep, 2017
Easy concept for my 3 year old to grasp. Quickly became part of bedtime routine to set clock. Love it.13 Sep, 2017
Love this product - it really works! My daughter is 4 so wish it wasn't as easy for them to be able to push the buttons or change times!10 Sep, 2017
Pretty easy to use but labelled buttons would be better. My daughter loves her clock but unfortunately it hasn't stopped her from getting up in the night just yet, but we will keep trying...she understands how it works though & likes seeing how many stars have disappeared & likes the night light feature too.02 Aug, 2017
We have had great success with sleep trainer clocks for our two daughters now 5 & 6. We have recently returned to Australia and have purchased the Gro Company Clock. I did find it on sale, thankfully as i was not comfortable paying its full RRP! It is a great clock and will certaintly achieve its aim, although i must admit our previous clock ( Teach me time talking alarm clock and nightlight) I found really good. Especially not having to set the clock each night. Something I regularly would forget. My daughters like the night time count down, which gives them an indication of how long it will be (hours) before they are to get up. Helpful in Winter when those dark mornings can be a bit confusing for young ones. Overall if you are thinking about something to help your toddler sleep and wake and correct times. This clock is for you. With a bit of training and parental enforecment it took maybe a week before the kids wouldnt be out of bed before the pre set wake up time. In saying this you want wake up time to be the same time everyday, if you are constantly changing the time this clock is not for you.
29 Jul, 2017
Works much better then I excepted, my daughter loves it and its easy for her to use and read. The light setting works well as you can change how strong the light is. Only wish she would sleep longer! I would recommend this.22 Jun, 2017
Is helping to get our girl to sleep longer in the morning she used to be up at 5:30 every morning ☺16 Jun, 2017
Good cue but can't change early bird personalities!16 Jun, 2017
Great product but it would be better if it was powered by battery as opposed to mains power. That would make it easier to keep out of reach of little hands!02 Jan, 2019
I don't like that you can't set a time at which it would change automatically from sun to the moon. Also the counting down stars don't seem to be related to any time duration (1/2h or 1h). We found the gro clock didn't help so far. Our daughter is turning 3 this month, maybe she is to young for it?!27 Aug, 2018
Love the sun rise but wish the night star was a red light not blue as we have to turn it off completely as even the dimmest seeing is very bright and not good for sleep. Also wish you didn't have to set it every evening.24 Aug, 2018
The clock works well and does everything it says it will, however unfortunately my son doesn’t like waiting for the sun in the morning (we have been using the clock for 3 weeks so far).The design is great for nights but it is difficult for us to use for naps as nap time is not exactly the same every day. The clock could be improved by having an option to set a nap length (e.g. 2 hours) rather than a wake up time.
11 May, 2018
The product is great as it does as described, however does nothing to help my son sleep in until a reasonable time. My nearly 3year old has a habit of waking up around 5.00am - 5.45am, I set the clock for the sun to rise at 6.30am but my son refuses to stay in bed once he wakes.28 Jun, 2017
Cant set timer tone night/day at particular times, have to reset every night. Difficult to use, quite complicated22 Jun, 2017
Great concept, but without batteries my darling daughter simply unplugs the clock. Has taken one two year knock and the screen has several issues (a number of the night stars no longer appear). That aside my daughter loves starting the clock to bring the stars out for nap and bed time.06 Apr, 2021
I've not been happy with the Gro-Cock as I don't find it that easy to use & the blue light is very strong - a hinderance to sleep. Even on a low setting, the blue light is too strong so I haven't used the clock, wasting my money.29 May, 2019
Overall seems good however I've had to stop using it as the clock is far too bright even on the lightest setting and was keeping my son up at night because of it. Would be nice to have sleep setting of some sort where all light turns off all together for a majority of the night09 Oct, 2018
Too bright, not ideal for young eyes.05 Oct, 2018
Bought this in time for daylight savings change over. Great idea however my son figured out how to turn it back to the sun by pressing the buttons on the first night rendering it useless. So annoying absolutely a waste of money.10 May, 2021
