For early-years settings it is a core part of meeting the EYFS expectation for trained staff. Nurseries and pre-schools Early-years staff who need certified paediatric cover on premises. Childminders Registered childminders meeting their first-aid requirement. School early-years staff Reception and nursery-class staff caring for the youngest children. Nannies and parents Anyone who wants the confidence to handle a child or infant emergency. What it covers ## What paediatric first aid covers Infant and child focused throughout — the techniques for babies and children differ from adults, and this course teaches those differences hands-on. Infant and child CPR Choking in infants and children The recovery position for children Bleeding and wounds Burns and scalds Febrile convulsions Meningitis awareness Allergic reactions and anaphylaxis Head injuries The 3 Ps — preserve life, prevent worsening, promote recovery Delegates who complete the course receive a FAIB-accredited certificate valid for three years. Not sure whether you need the full 12-hour course or the emergency option? Tell us about your setting and we will point you to the right one. EYFS context ## Paediatric first aid and the EYFS The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework expects early-years providers to have at least one person with a current paediatric first aid certificate on the premises and available at all times when children are present, and on outings. It is a key part of keeping children safe and of passing an Ofsted inspection. We deliver the training that supports that expectation, but statutory guidance does change — so we always advise checking the current EYFS requirements for your setting and staffing. If you tell us your setup, we will help you work out sensible cover. For schools rather than early-years settings, see [Emergency First Aid for Schools](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/first-aid-training/emergency-first-aid-for-schools/).

[First Aid Awareness](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/first-aid-training/first-aid-awareness/) FAQ ## Paediatric first aid: what settings ask us ### Do all EYFS staff need paediatric first aid? The EYFS expects at least one person with a current paediatric first aid certificate to be on the premises and available whenever children are present, and on outings. Many settings train more staff than the minimum to keep cover reliable. Always check the current statutory guidance for your setting. ### What does paediatric first aid cover? Infant and child CPR, choking, the recovery position, bleeding, burns, febrile convulsions, meningitis awareness, allergic reactions and anaphylaxis, head injuries and more — all focused on babies and children rather than adults. ### Can you fail a paediatric first aid course? Very rarely. You are assessed on what you demonstrate on the baby and child manikins as the course goes on, and the trainer gives you time to get each technique right before moving on. ### What are the 3 Ps in paediatric first aid? Preserve life, prevent the situation worsening, and promote recovery. They are the simple priorities that guide what a first aider does at the scene of a child emergency. ### Do you deliver paediatric first aid onsite? Yes — we come to your nursery, pre-school or school across Berkshire and the surrounding counties, so staff are not travelling and the training fits around your ratios and sessions.
