The amazing gro clock is our most recommended sleep training clock. Just read the wonderful customer reviews to see what a difference this product makes to our customers lives!
The gro clock is one of our most highly recommended products. Parents have always struggled with children who are early birds and until the gro clock we didn’t have a reliable solution!
The gro clock has an amazing success rate with teaching children to sleep in. Or if they don’t sleep longer, they do learn to stay in bed and not wake up their parents!
How does the gro clock work?
How do you get your children to understand when it’s time to get up?
SIMPLE!! "Stay in bed until you see the sun!"
The Gro-clock uses fun images of the stars and sun to communicate when to go back to sleep and when it’s time to get up.
The Gro-Clock allows parents to choose whether or not to display the digital clock during the usual ‘stars to sun’ countdown. So for older children, they can now start to learn digital time, as well as look for the arrival of the sun!
The Gro-clock also comes with a beautifully illustrated book which helps to encourage children to stay in bed longer, which means more sleep for them and more sleep for you! "No more getting up at 5am!".
It is this combination of the simple glowing images and the bedtime story book which has already made the Gro-Clock incredibly popular in the UK.
What makes the gro clock so awesome?
Glowing screen shows images of stars and sun to communicate ’sleep’ and ’wake-up’ time.
Includes fun bedtime story book to reinforce the message.
Stars go out one-by-one during the night to show the passing of time.
Option to set two separate wake-up times (weekday/weekend or night-time/day-time nap)
Adjustablescreen brightness: 00 means no light, right up to the brightest setting which works well as a nightlight.
Silent operation - no ticking!
Optional audible alarm feature
Mains powered with plug for NZ or Australian use.
Suitable from age 2+ years
Option of showing digital clock during the ‘stars to sun’ countdown.
What age can you introduce the gro clock? And use up to?
We find children can understand the concept of the ’sun rising means get up’ from about 2 years old. Much younger than that and they will likely not understand though they may still enjoy the sun going to sleep and the stars coming out as part of their bedtime routine.
The gro clock can be used with older children, as children all appreciate being able to tell when its morning and the clock is still attractive and not babyish looking.
Our 2yr old son was driving us beyond crazy with his early starts, it did take up to 2 weeks for him to get the idea and now every night we hear him say "stay in bed till the sun" and he does just that! He really likes the book too, insists on reading it every night also :) The only improvements I could suggest would be battery back up- much easier for travel and a simplified function setting menu (can be a bit tricky when you are already sleep deprived!!) However I do really think its is worth every cent to give us that extra 1-2 hours sleep each morning!
Get your sleep back!

Can't recommend this product highly enough. We purchased for our nearly 3yr old for Xmas just in time for our holiday. Introduced whilst we were away gave us restful sleep in's and he has transitioned at home perfectly too. Each morning we hear him say "'Mummy, Daddy, the sun came up on my alarm clock" which he understands that's when he can get out of bed. The easiest and best sleep tool for toddlers by far! A must have for every parent that values their sleep! Thank you Sleepstore!!!
Gro clock, love it

Wonderful wonderful, I had a few issues in the first few days with it turning itself onto standby but now it seems to be working perfectly and our daughter is not up at an ungodly hour anymore. HIGHLY recommend
It works!!!

The gro clock is amazing!!!! My very stubborn nearly 4 and a half year old daughter had only ever slept through the night a handful of times in her entire life! We have tried pretty much everything (even other sleep trainer clocks!!) to try and get her to stay in her own bed but nothing at all has worked. So as a last resort I bought the gro clock...and in the last week my daughter has spent more nights in her own bed then what she has over the first 4 and half years of her life! The concept of the clock is simple...you can get up when the sun comes up...the book that comes with it helps to reinforce this. And what I like about this clock is that you can see by how many stars are remaining on the night face of the clock how much of the night is left...so that my girl knows whether she has to go back to sleep for a long time or just a little bit...and she knows it is getting closer to the time when the sun comes up and she can get up! Brilliant! We are totally happy with the results we have had from using this product!
LOVE LOVE LOVE

The Gro clock is amazing.
It took a couple of weeks but now our little girl stays in bed till the clocks sun is up. And if she wakes in the night she doesnt get up because she knows its still night time by looking at the clock. Worth every cent!
Best clock ever!

We bought this to keep our 2 and 4 year olds in bed in the mornings (they share a room). They were waking up and not knowing if it was time to get up. They know they are not allowed up until the sun comes up. It is a fantastic visual clue for little ones who can't read the time. My girls push the buttons to turn off the sun at night when its tiem for lights out; and it has worked a treat. The star glow can be turned off if you don't want a light on during the night. We have it set for one time during the week and another time for weekends - great for sleep-ins. It is quite expensive but worth every cent in my opinion!
Love it

Love it! Works really well with our 3 year old son (when he chooses to pay attention). Essential as the days gets longer & waking times get earlier! Good as a night light with the adjustable brightness & power adaptor. Only downside is that the "child proof lock" is not so child proof...
Great, even for the little ones!

I started using this clock with my daughter at just 16 months old. She is still in a cot so we don't have issues with her getting out of bed early, but she certainly understands that when the sun goes away it's her bed time, and that I will get her out of her cot when the sun appears. Although she sometimes wakes early she doesn't make a big fuss until the clock changes to the sun. She loves the clock and often points it out as she passes it.

We also have this clock. Purchased it several months back as our middle child (who is 3) would wake up at 5am on the dot no matter what...then came along day light savings! urgh...well this clock worked brillantly and has allowed me an extra 2 1/2 hours of sleep as now she gets up at 7.30 like the rest of us!

Have only had this for about a month and what a HUGE difference!! From 5:30/6am wake ups to closer to 7am!! Can't recommend highly enough!!
Here at the Gro company it’s what gets us up in the morning (after a wonderful night’s sleep of course), and what inspires us to do what we do.
If you’re lucky enough to have a newborn baby or an energetic toddler, but could use a bit more sleep - you’ve come to the right place.
Grobag started the baby sleep bag revolution back in 2000 and we are very proud to have changed the way that mums and dads put their babies to bed. Over 95% of parents in the UK now use baby sleep bags, making traditional top sheets and blankets a relic of the past.
Grobag has worked closely with The Lullaby Trust, (formerly FSID) The charity works to promote Safer Sleep for babies and support for families. Each Grobag comes with a free nursery thermometer and guide of what to wear.
We go to extraordinary lengths to make sure our Grobags are manufactured to the highest possible quality standards with the very best premium fabrics. Our Grobags meet all the relevant safety standards and in fact the new British Standard was based on our original specifications.
