Also, the key lock isn’t robust enough as my eldest figured out how to unlock it himself and change the wake up time!

Minnie has very fixed ideas about her bedtime story, which tends to change from day to day, so while some parents make this part of the evening routine as well, she fairly quickly moved on. The kiddies have enjoyed staying in bed every morning watching until the sun comes up and I’ve managed to get a bit more sleep.

We’ve created this story to help your little one learn all about bedtime so we can take the stress out of sleep for mom and dad. As your child gets older, you can choose to set the audible alarm – perfect for routine wake-up times. it wobbles over – like the egg too and if it gets switched off, bam, you have to reset the whole thing from start.

As your child grows the sleep trainer can also be used as a handy nightlight for comfort and reassurance or for when your toddler needs a night-time toilet trip. We have tried pretty much everything with J over the last 3 years and barely anything has actually worked, so I was delighted for us to be able to review The Gro Clock from The Gro Company as I have heard good things about them. The bright screen is really appealing and both Mia and Lottie absolutely love the smiley star and sunshine faces when they appear! This may affect nutrition and allergen information therefore you should always check product labels and not rely solely on the information presented here.It is this combination of the simple glowing images and the bedtime story book which has already made the Groclock a phenomenal success. I didn't want my daughter getting reliant on a blue light all night, but you can adjust the blue glow brightness (about 10 different levels) or have it turn off altogether! It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without the prior consent of Waitrose Limited nor without due acknowledgement. In conjunction with the Gro-Clock there is a reward chart you can use, to encourage that routine a little bit further and teach children what you expect from them. You can also use it for naps if they’re still napping, or if they’re growing out of naps and you’re replacing the nap with quiet time then it’s perfect to indicate when your little one can continue playing quietly and then when they can get up.
