This clock and book are an excellent purchase, superb quality and worth the money. I bought this for my son who is nearly 2 about 6 weeks ago, he absolutely loves saying "bye bye sun, good night star" every night and it is now part of his bedtime routine, however he seems to take no notice in the morning and gets up when he wants sometimes before before the sun, sometimes after, hence the 4 star rating. I'm hoping as he gets older it will work for him if we keep pushing it. That said, a great product he loves it and the book.

We bought this for our son for his 4th birthday, despite my husband's scepticism that he was too old for it. After a coupe of weeks he had got the idea and now consistently stays in his room until "my sun has come up, Mummy."
No more shouting "Can I get up yet?!" to wake his little sister. He adores the sun on the clock and his sister (21m) is jealous of the clock. I think we are going to need another.
The digital feature on the new version would be fab.

FANTASTIC - but give it time !
Started this clock on my 2 yr 1 week old little boy, who woke us up anything from 4.30 am ! At first nothing happened although he loved having a clock by his bed and watching the moon go to sleep. After a week we ended up setting the time so that the sun came on before he woke, to give him the confidence the sun would come. We then changed the time by 20 mins and again for a week he woke up after the sun ! Changed the time again by 10 mins and if he wakes up and sees the moon he goes back to sleep ! He is so proud and happy when he wakes up and sees the sun and shouts, time to wake up !
Really does work, just dont expect it to work the first night, fantastic product, would highly highly reccommend ! Thank you !

I purchased this product in the hope that my partners 6 year old, who although lovely, would wake us up at 5am everyday, might be pursuaded to stay in her room or watch CBBies until the 'sun' comes up - and am delighted to report that it works brilliantly! The bags under my eyes are subsiding daily. I highly recommend this product, even for slightly older children!

It even worked on Christmas Day! What more can you ask!

The people at Gro have done it again! This is the best invention since the Grobag! The Grobag gave us all that sleep for the first 3 years, and now the Gro-clock has taken over the baton, keeping our little one in bed "until the sun". The book's fab too. Thanks again for a wonderful product. I'm recommending it to all my friends.

Superb! such a great invention. My little one particularly likes the beautifully illustrated book that comes with it.

A total life saver! I wish we'd found this product ages ago - perhaps then we could of had more sleep. So simple, yet so effective. I recommend this clock to all of my friends with young kids.
