Under the EYFS, you need at least one paediatric first aider on site at all times — and with the children on every outing. With staff rotas, holidays and turnover, keeping that cover intact is the hard part.
We train your team at the nursery, outside opening hours if that's easier.

Blended Paediatric First Aid — 12 hours (online theory + one practical day)
Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) — 1 day, for non-childcare roles can be bolted on to the Paediatric First aid Training

Meeting your ratios
We'll help you work out how many paediatric first aiders you need across the day, including opening, closing, lunch cover and outings — then schedule the courses so nobody is off the floor at the wrong time.
