Being prepared for emergencies in an early years setting is essential, and this Paediatric First Aid qualification equips you with the knowledge and practical skills needed to safeguard children in your care. Delivered over two days, the course provides a thorough understanding of both common injuries and more serious medical emergencies, ensuring you are ready to act confidently when it matters most.
The course begins by introducing your responsibilities as a paediatric first aider and the steps to take when faced with an emergency. You’ll practise vital skills such as CPR, AED use, and placing children safely in recovery positions. This combination of theory and practical exercises helps you build confidence in responding calmly and correctly.
Over the two days, you’ll cover a wide range of potential incidents that may occur in an early years environment. This includes both routine and complex emergencies, from minor cuts and bruises to fractures, head and spinal injuries, allergic reactions, and diabetic or asthma crises. You’ll also learn how to manage less common but serious events such as meningitis, febrile convulsions, and electrical incidents. By the end of the course, you’ll be fully equipped to act decisively and safely.
Training is delivered directly at the client’s premises, allowing sessions to be tailored to the specific workplace and the type of environment staff operate in. This ensures the content is directly relevant, with examples and scenarios based on the setting participants are familiar with.
Holding the training on-site also removes the need for travel and reduces disruption to the working day. All necessary equipment and materials are provided, and sessions can be scheduled at times that best suit the team’s routine and operational needs.
You must be 16 or older to attend this qualification. Those under 16 may participate in theory sessions but cannot be relied upon in the workplace as a qualified first aider.
You should be physically capable of performing practical skills such as CPR on a child or baby. A good understanding of English is also recommended to follow instructions and complete the assessments effectively.
The centre delivers paediatric first aid training that balances practical skill development with regulatory compliance. Experienced instructors guide you through realistic scenarios, ensuring you leave confident in your ability to handle emergencies in an early years setting.
Courses are fully OFQUAL regulated and meet all Early Years Foundation Stage requirements. Training here guarantees you gain recognised qualifications while learning in a supportive, professional environment that prioritises your preparedness and confidence.
