First Aid Academy Ltd offers a Paediatric First Aid course essential for childcare providers, nurseries, schools, and early years practitioners working with children under the age of eight. Designed to meet the EYFS Statutory Framework and Ofsted requirements, the 12-hour training can be delivered as two full days or three twilight sessions. Participants learn child and infant first aid, resuscitation techniques using age-appropriate models, accident and incident recording, and essential contents for a baby and child first-aid kit. The course also supports employees working towards NVQs in Childcare and Education, ensuring compliance and practical readiness for all childcare settings. We can also provide first aid at work and sports first aid training for teams needing additional or alternative workplace-focused or activity-based qualifications.
PRACTICAL CHILDREN'S FIRST AID SKILLS FOR EVERY SETTING
This comprehensive Paediatric First Aid course from First Aid Academy Ltd equips practitioners with hands-on skills for managing emergencies in schools, nurseries, or during outings outside the setting. Emphasis is placed on resuscitation for babies and children, managing accidents, and ensuring safe supervision during walks, trips, or transport to activities. The course also benefits group leaders, nannies, and registered child-minders, meeting government and Ofsted guidelines. For organisations like Forest Schools, training can be adapted to combine outdoor first aid with paediatric scenarios, providing tailored skills for children in both indoor and outdoor environments, ensuring safety and confidence in every situation.
