10 Best Alarm Clocks for Kids UK 2024 | LEGO Batman, The Gro Company and More

Firstly, we have to say the design of this clock has incredibly cute mass appeal! However, it's much more than just a sweet addition to your child's room – it has fantastic functionality too, and can be used as either an okay-to-wake or a sound alarm. When using the sound alarm, there's a choice of 3 sounds. 

The added nightlight offers 6 colour changes too, and if your little one likes a nap in the day it can double up as a nap timer with or without the sound. This really does tick all the boxes, and we're sure you and your child will be happier and more well-rested with Mella in your life! 

If you're looking for not only an alarm clock but something that can also be used as a tool to help your little ones tell the time, then look no further than this device from Learning Resources. It uses the (non-functional) analogue display alongside the quiz mode to do just that!

In addition to this, it also has an okay-to-wake alarm, the ability to be used as a night light, and it for a little fun, too, Tock's head can be pressed to play songs via his music-time function. 

This clock combines both okay-to-wake and regular sound alarm features, and both an analogue and digital display, making it a great purchase for children that are learning to tell the time. Moreover, kids will love being able to change the faceplate to their preferred design. 

There are 5 different light settings, featured lullabies, and the all-important built-in night light. Plus, the parental controls are hidden, so you don't have to worry about any little hands getting to it and tampering with the settings. 

Just as beneficial for children as it is for the grown-ups, this clock has an intelligent sunrise/sundown simulation to aid troubled sleepers. Simply set the alarm for the morning and the clock will increase from 10% - 100% brightness, and fade back down in the evenings. You can even add music too, if you like, or play the FM radio.

Plus, there are 7 different light settings available which kids will love to customise to this week's favourite colour, a display they can easily read, and even a USB socket to plug a phone or other device into. 

Who didn't want one of these as a kid (or even now)? This alarm will not only get your child up in the morning but gently soothe them to sleep with projections of stars on the ceiling in the evenings. And that's a win-win if you ask us!

The alarm can also function as a speaker to play either the inbuilt nature sounds or the relaxing music of your choice before bedtime. Heading away to another parent's house or for a sleepover? It can be plugged into the mains, or powered up with batteries. 

This is a great little clock and sleep trainer for young ones who don't know the concept of time yet, or have trouble getting used to a regular sleep routine. This model simply displays either a smiling sun or stars, which go out one-by-one over the course of the night to show the passing of time. 

Additionally, it comes with a well-illustrated bedtime book that also encourages them to stay in bed longer. Though the light itself can be a little bright on full, there is a button for brightness adjustment, as well the option of switching on an audible alarm. 

If your little one is a Frozen fan, then this wonderful design with protagonist Elsa might help them hit the hay. The clock has a light-up function that works when the tip of the clock is pressed and can be used as a night light if they're nervous in the dark. 

It also features a button to play sounds from Frozen 2 the movie, and the alarm comes with a choice of two different Frozen ringtones. If they're struggling to sleep, perhaps this can teach them to let it go?

Get your little superhero their very own bat signal with this collectable LEGO Batman figurine clock. This is a pretty straightforward device, with a simple and easy-to-read backlit digital display, a snooze button, and moveable arms, wrists, and legs.

Our only qualm is that there's only one basic alarm tone – yep, it's that shrill one we talked about in the article. So while this is definitely one of the more appealing options for die-hard LEGO fans, it may not be the best match for school children who need to be gently coaxed out of bed! 

This cute-looking clock has a ton of features. Firstly, a night light, which can be timed to stay on for 30 or 60 minutes – fingers crossed they'll be asleep by then. It also offers 6 different tones so you can get your child to pick their favourite, and a volume adjustment that'll ensure they're up in time for school.

Furthermore, there is a snooze button that comes with a countdown function so they'll know just when it is time to get up. The downside is that children might find it a little tricky to get the hang of initially, but with perseverance and guidance, they'll get there. 

Getting us underway is this traditional analogue clock from Ayybboo. It's designed for the formidable younger fan and would look right at home in a football-themed bedroom. Plus, it has a non-ticking hand so it shouldn't wake your little one up when they do drift off. 

There's also a nice, soft light and an alarm that gradually gets louder for those children who can sleep through anything. It's affordable too, however, the build isn't as sturdy as other, more expensive styles, so it might not last particularly long around younger kids.
