Keeping nursery warm - portable heating solutions?

HNY all!

A few cold nights of late and our 7mo might be feeling a little chill in her room with the heating off.

Any recommendations for keeping her warm via an oil-filled radiator or similar? She's suitably dressed so I'm just looking at the plethora of options of keeping the room a little warmer without turning on the CH.

DeLonghi, etc? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

    Assuming you have Thermostatic Valves on your Radiators you could always leave on CH for the cold nights and leave her radator on low and turn off/down all the other radiators. That would be the cheapest option.

    Failing that an oil filled radiator would probably be the best option.

    Thanks. We do have TVRs. But that would be a hassle to do every night.

    Any specific thoughts on oil-filled? And are they better than other types of heater for my purpose?

    They are safer than possibly a convector or fan?
