Save energy (and cut your fuel bills)
* The running costs of heating is an important consideration and the installation of a new boiler can make a big difference. New models have the advantage of reducing the levels of carbon monoxide emissions and are more cost-effective to run.
* Insulate the nursery's loft with at least 15cm of glass fibre or mineral wool and lag all hot water tanks and pipes.
* Draft proof doors and windows.
* Fit compact fluorescent (energy efficient) light bulbs. They produce the same light as ordinary bulbs but use only a fifth of the energy and last eight times longer.
