Who it's for
Who paediatric first aid is for
This course is for anyone responsible for babies and young children — the people who need to act calmly and correctly in the first few minutes of a childhood emergency. 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.

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.
