Tommee Tippee Gro Clock Sleep Trainer
The Gro Clock tells the time with colours and pictures, helping children understand the difference between night-time and morning without needing to read a clock. The blue star display signals sleep, while a bright sun signals wake-up time — giving parents a peaceful routine they can count on.
Check PriceWhy the Gro Clock Sleep Trainer Works
Visual, Not Verbal
Young children cannot read a digital clock, but they can recognise colours and pictures. The Gro Clock replaces confusing numerals with a friendly owl at night and a cheerful sun at morning.
Fully Customisable Times
Set precise sleep and wake windows that match your family’s routine. Whether your toddler naps at noon or wakes at six, the clock adapts to your schedule — not the other way around.
Gentle Nightlight
The soft blue glow provides just enough light to comfort children who dislike total darkness, without stimulating wakefulness or disrupting melatonin production.
Suitable from Infancy
Works as a simple nightlight from birth and introduces visual sleep cues from around 18 months as toddlers begin to associate the star screen with staying quietly in bed.
How to Check Fitment
- 01
Unbox and Place
Remove the Gro Clock from its packaging and position it on a bedside table or shelf at your child’s eye level. Plug it into a standard outlet using the included USB cable so the display stays on throughout the night without the need for battery changes.
- 02
Set Sleep Time
Use the control buttons on the back to program the time you want the sleep screen to activate. When sleep time begins, the clock displays a blue starry-night scene with a sleepy owl, signalling to your child that it is time to stay quietly in bed.
- 03
Set Wake Time
Program the wake-up time that suits your household. When that moment arrives, the display changes to a bright, warm sun scene, telling your child it is now safe and welcome to get up. No words, no numbers — just a clear, unmistakable visual signal.
- 04
Introduce to Your Child
Before the first night, sit with your child and explain the two screens together. Point out the sleeping owl and say “when you see the stars, it’s sleep time.” Show them the sun and say “when the sun comes up, you can get out of bed.” Repetition over a few evenings builds a reliable association.
- 05
Build the Routine
Consistency is the key. Refer to the clock each evening as part of the bedtime wind-down — “let’s check the Gro Clock.” Celebrate mornings when your child waited for the sun. Within a week or two most children internalise the cues and begin regulating their own wake time.
Gro Clock Sleep Trainer Reviews — What Parents Are Saying
Product quality
“Within three nights our two-year-old stopped climbing out of bed at 5 a.m. She now waits for the sun and proudly announces ‘sun is up!’ before coming to find us. The colour change concept is genuinely brilliant for toddlers who cannot read a clock.”
Ease of use
“We tried sticker charts and reward systems with no luck. The Gro Clock worked where everything else failed. The soft blue nightlight is a bonus — our son no longer needs a separate lamp. The buttons are simple enough that we set it up in minutes.”
Overall experience
“Bought this for our three-year-old after months of early mornings. The customisable times are a genuine selling point — we adjusted the wake time gradually by fifteen minutes each week and now she sleeps until seven. Wish we had discovered it sooner.”

What age is the Gro Clock Sleep Trainer suitable for?
The Gro Clock can be used as a simple nightlight from birth. The sleep-training function — where children understand the star and sun cues — becomes effective from around 18 months to two years of age, when toddlers begin to associate visual signals with behaviour.
How does the clock tell the time without numbers?
Instead of a traditional digital display, the Gro Clock uses colour and illustrated characters. A blue screen with a sleepy owl surrounded by stars means it is still sleep time. When the programmed wake hour arrives, the screen transitions to a warm, bright sun image that children quickly learn to associate with getting up.
Can I adjust the brightness of the nightlight?
Yes. The Gro Clock includes a screen brightness setting so you can dim the display for lighter-sleeping children or increase it slightly if your child finds a slightly brighter glow more comforting in a dark room.
Does the clock need batteries or mains power?
The Gro Clock is powered via USB, so it runs from a mains adapter or USB power source. This means there are no battery replacements to worry about during the night, and the settings are preserved even if you briefly unplug the device.
How long does it take to see results?
Many parents report noticeable improvement within three to seven nights, particularly when the clock is introduced alongside a consistent bedtime routine and positive reinforcement. Results vary by child, but the visual simplicity of the system means even very young toddlers adapt quickly.
