That fear is the honest starting point for this course. A paediatric first aid course in Basingstoke deals with babies and children, not adult casualties, so the content is built around smaller airways, faster deterioration and parents standing three feet away. ### Babies and children, not adults Technique changes with size. Infant CPR uses two fingers. Child CPR uses one hand or two, depending on the child. Chest compressions, rescue breaths and choking response are all taught at the correct depth and rate for the age group, because getting that wrong on a baby causes harm. ### The emergencies that actually happen Choking, febrile seizures, anaphylaxis, asthma attacks, head bumps, burns, scalds and bleeding. Those are the calls that come in. We also train life-threatening bleed control on every course we run, including this one, because catastrophic bleeding kills fast and the response is simple once you have practised it. ### Casualty assessment and escalation Knowing what to do matters less than knowing when you are out of your depth. Delegates learn a primary survey, the recovery position, and how to hand over to an ambulance crew with useful information. We cover what happens after the emergency too: recording, reporting to parents, and what your setting needs to log. **Call Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training on 07771 680794 for a free quote on a Paediatric First Aid Course in Basingstoke, delivered at your own premises over one or two days to suit your ratios.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794) ## Certification and Validity Here is the fear worth naming. Buyers are afraid of paying for a certificate that an inspector waves away. It happens, and it is expensive. ### Who accredits it Our first aid courses are accredited by FAIB. Our mental health courses are accredited by FAA. We keep those separate and we do not blur them, because an accreditation body that does not cover the subject is worth nothing on the day. Certificates are recognised by HSE, Ofsted and the DfE. ### Three years, then requalify Certification runs for three years from the date of the course. Diary it. Skills fade well before the paper does, and the Health and Safety Executive encourages annual refresher practice for that reason. We will tell you when your setting is due rather than let a certificate lapse quietly. ### Assessment on the day Assessment is continuous and practical. You are watched doing the skills. No written exam, no trick questions, no surprise sit-down paper. If something is not right, the trainer corrects it and you do it again until it is. ## Course Dates, Venues and Delivery Options This is where most enquiries stall. Nobody wants to lose a room, close a baby room, or send staff across the county on a Saturday. Fair enough. ### We come to you Training is delivered at your premises. Your nursery, your school, your pre-school hall, your own home if you are a childminder. That removes travel time, mileage claims and the cost of releasing staff for a full day plus a commute. Whether you need a paediatric first aid course in Basingstoke or [emergency first aid at work in Basingstoke](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/resources/emergency-first-aid-at-work-basingstoke/), we cover the whole area. ### Dates that fit your rota Dates are agreed with you, not published for you to squeeze into. Inset days, weekends, evenings and staggered groups all work. We do not run open courses for individual delegates, so the room is yours and the scenarios are set in your own setting, with your own layout and your own equipment. ### Blended delivery as an option Blended is available if a full classroom day is too much disruption. Theory is completed online in staff members' own time, then the practical is delivered at your venue. It splits the day and keeps ratios intact. The certificate that results is the same three-year certificate, recognised the same way. **Call Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training on 07771 680794 for a free quote on a Paediatric First Aid Course in Basingstoke, delivered at your own premises over one or two days to suit your ratios.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794) ## Who the Course Is For for Basingstoke Homes Some people book this because Ofsted told them to. Others book because a child stopped breathing once and they never want to feel that helpless again. Both are valid reasons. ### Early years and childcare staff Nursery practitioners, pre-school staff, childminders, nannies, out-of-school clubs and holiday scheme leaders. The content is written to sit against EYFS and childcare registration requirements, which is the standard your inspector will hold you to. Whether you need a paediatric first aid course in Basingstoke or [a paediatric first aid course in Oxford](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/resources/paediatric-first-aid-course-oxford/), we cover the whole area. ### Parents, grandparents and carers You do not need a professional reason. Parents of newborns, families managing allergies, grandparents doing two days a week: all sit on this course alongside professionals. Nobody is made to feel out of place. ### Schools and mixed staff teams Schools often need a mix. Some staff need paediatric cover, others need workplace cover. We build the day around that rather than selling everyone the same course. And every paediatric course we run includes our emergency first aid at work course at no extra cost, which suits sites with both adults and children on the premises. ## Course Formats and Duration Two lengths exist and settings get talked into the wrong one. Ask what your registration actually requires before you book. ### Full paediatric first aid The full course runs across two days, twelve hours of training in total. This is the format most nursery and childminder registrations expect. It gives time for repeated practice on infant and child manikins rather than one hurried demonstration. ### Emergency paediatric first aid The emergency version is one day, around six hours. It suits support staff, volunteers and settings where the full qualification is not required for every person. Delegate numbers are capped so nobody stands at the back watching. ## Practical Skills Taught in Basingstoke Theory does not save a child. Hands do. So the day is weighted towards doing. ### Hands-on, repeated, corrected Delegates practise on infant and child manikins until the technique is automatic. Skills covered include: - Infant and child CPR, with and without a defibrillator - Choking response for a baby and for a child - Recovery position adapted for infants - Control of severe and life-threatening bleeding - Burns, scalds, fractures and head injuries - Anaphylaxis, auto-injector use and asthma inhaler support - Seizures, meningitis awareness and diabetic emergencies ### Scenarios in your own space We run scenarios in the room where an incident would happen. On your floor, near your changing area, with your first aid kit. Staff find the gaps in their kit that way, which is worth the day on its own. ### Our trainers Every trainer is in-house. We never outsource, and Rebecca Sullivan leads the team, though she does not deliver every session personally. Between them our trainers hold over 50 years of combined experience. Rebecca sets the standard each one is held to. **Call Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training on 07771 680794 for a free quote on a Paediatric First Aid Course in Basingstoke, delivered at your own premises over one or two days to suit your ratios.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794)
