About Little Foxes Play Town
Located in Nottingham, Little Foxes Play Town is a vibrant, child-led play and education centre designed by local mums with their own children in mind. With a café, immersive roleplay environments, and both indoor and outdoor spaces, it’s a place where children are encouraged to dream, explore, and learn. But while the ideas were warm, the building wasn't.
The Problem
Cold Spaces & Central Heating Struggles
Despite central heating running on full power, the temperature rarely climbed above 17°C. The chill was constant, especially in winter, making it difficult to maintain comfort for children and staff alike. Parents raised concerns, and operational costs kept rising. Pain Points:
- Cold air trapped in the building structure
- Slow warm-up time with traditional radiators
- High energy use with low comfort return
- Parental concern over wellbeing and comfort
The Recommendation
Energy Audit & Expert Advice
Through an energy audit facilitated by Nottingham Business School, infrared heating was identified as a smarter solution. A business consultant recommended KIASA Infrared Heating as the best-fit system to tackle the comfort and efficiency issues. Infrared heat works differently — it warms people and surfaces directly, not the air. This makes it perfect for spaces where heat is lost quickly or where zoning is beneficial.
