Blended Paediatric First Aid — 12-Hour Course, delivered at Your Setting
Paediatric first aid training that fits around your nursery — not the other way round. Complete 6 hours of interactive eLearning at your own pace, then we bring the trainer to you for the practical day. Available 7 days a week, including evenings — so staff never need to be released for two full days.
From £389. Ofsted & EYFS compliant. Certificates issued on completion.
Our blended paediatric first aid course is designed for anyone who works with young children — nurseries, pre-schools, reception classes, childminders, nannies and au pairs caring for babies, children under 8 and up to 18 years old. The course meets Ofsted and Scottish requirements for first aid training in Early Years settings.
Part 1 — eLearning (6 hours): Complete at your own pace, wherever and whenever suits. Our interactive eLearning module covers the theory, so your staff arrive ready to practise, not to sit in a classroom.
Part 2 — Practical day at your setting: We come to you. One focused face-to-face session at your nursery or school — no travel, no cover for two days out. We train 7 days a week including evenings, so we'll find a day that fits around your staff rotas.
