 Paediatric First Aid

Two-Day EYFS-Compliant Paediatric First Aid Course (Meets Ofsted Requirements)

Paediatric First Aid is a comprehensive two-day course designed for anyone working with infants and children in childcare and education settings. This course meets the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and is suitable for staff who must hold a full Paediatric First Aid qualification.

 

The course provides in-depth training on a wide range of childhood illnesses, injuries and emergency situations, alongside essential adult first aid skills. Training is delivered in a relaxed, supportive environment with plenty of hands-on practice, discussion and real-life scenarios.

 

This course is ideal for those who need a robust, nationally recognised paediatric first aid qualification to meet regulatory and workplace requirements.
