Childcare Centre Energy Broker

Caring for children and helping them grow is one of the most rewarding parts of running a childcare centre.
But energy management for childcare centres? Not so much.

Why Businesses are choosing  Termina as their Childcare Centre Energy Broker

Caring for children and helping them grow is one of the most rewarding parts of running a childcare centre.

But energy management for childcare centres? Not so much.

Many centres pay more than they should for electricity and gas because rates constantly change, bills are scattered across suppliers, and comparing offers takes time that could be better spent nurturing the kids.

Termina takes that burden off your plate by automatically keeping your childcare centre on the best energy rates every month.

In this blog, we will show you how choosing Termina to be your childcare energy broker will save you loads of time and money on your energy bills and energy management.

Let Termina automatically find you the best energy rates for your childcare centre (and keep you on the best rate)

Most childcare centres are stuck on outdated or higher tariffs because rate reviews and contract renewals are manual and time-consuming. 

Energy prices fluctuate monthly, and even a small gap between contracts can cost thousands each year.

That’s where we come in: Termina automates the entire process.
Our platform continuously compares energy suppliers and switches your centre to the lowest available electricity and gas rates.

By combining group buying power with automated monthly reviews, we secure better-than-market deals that many centres can’t access alone.

Unlike traditional brokers, Termina doesn’t earn commissions from retailers. We only earn when we save you money.

Most clients see an average of 7–10% annual savings while staying protected from sudden price increases

One place to manage childcare centre energy accounts and assets to reduce costs, admin, and emissions

Managing multiple energy accounts across sites and suppliers creates unnecessary admin.

Invoices arrive at different times. Data gets lost in emails or spreadsheets. It’s difficult to understand your real energy spend, let alone plan for sustainability targets or future budgets.

Termina gives you a single, centralised platform for every electricity, gas, and embedded-network account.
You can view all sites, meters, and contracts in one dashboard, track real-time usage, and generate reports instantly.

One login. One line of communication. One monthly report.
That means less manual data entry, fewer errors, and more time to focus on running your centre. 

You’ll also have clear visibility over energy spend and emissions which will help you make informed decisions that reduce both cost and environmental impact.

Automatically track the energy usage of your childcare centre equipment

HVAC systems, lighting, and laundry or kitchen equipment often use more energy than expected.

And without clear tracking, it’s hard to spot where waste is happening.

Termina’s automated monitoring tools show how and when your centre uses energy – without expensive hardware or complicated installs.
You can identify inefficient equipment, monitor spikes in usage, and even simulate savings from upgrading appliances or adjusting schedules.

This data helps you prevent energy waste (like heating or lighting running outside operating hours) and plan maintenance before problems arise. 

The result? Lower operating costs, better equipment performance, and a more sustainable centre.
