The Pixieland nursery in Plymouth is so security conscious that it has recently installed the latest fingerprint recognition technology to protect the children's safety. Access to the nursery is controlled by the Verid System from TSSI and parents, staff and visitors have to type in a PIN number and scan their fingerprint at the entrance to activate the door release mechanism. The door will only open if the PIN and fingerprints match records on a database. This database can be copied on to a PC and linked to other information, such as parents' emergency telephone numbers.

An idea for the colder days ahead is Cosyfloor, an underfloor heating system from Demista, designed for areas that are tiled, marble, stone or hardwood and which may feel cold underfoot. It is comprised of thin, insulated and earth-screened cables which are stitched into a reinforced, open weave, glass cloth blanket. The cable mats come in a range of sizes and can be fitted in multiples in baby rooms or play areas or laid around fixed objects like hand basins. The smallest mat covers 0.75 m2 and the largest 4 m2. Cosyfloor warms up in 30 minutes and has a running temperature of between 25 to 30oC. The mats can be installed in any solid based floor in new or old buildings and require no maintenance or automatic controls (a wall-mounted thermostat with remote floor sensor and a 24-hour time clock can be fitted if required). The product comes with a ten-year warranty; prices are available on request. Telephone 01932 866600
