A heating pad would be a good idea. Just make sure to check the watering

the soil several degrees above ambient temps and help keep the roots warm
and help them grow.

I'm too poor (really I'm too cheap!) for a heating pad. Seeing as seeds
need more heat than light, I put a florescent light on the table, floor
facing up. I place my seed trays on top of the light fixture.The mild heat
from the light is good enough to warm the soil, but not hot enough to hurt
anything. Ofcourse you must not water the flats while _on_ the light or
you'll get a good zap... but this does work.
