Paediatric first aid is the child and baby version of first aid: the training covers infants under one and children up to puberty, and it is the qualification early years staff in Maidenhead are asked for at inspection.

What Paediatric First Aid Covers
A nursery room in a converted Victorian terrace off Boyn Hill has hard floors, a narrow stair and a doorway you cannot swing a stretcher through. That is the room where the skills get used, so that is the room we train for. Delegates work on infant manikins on the floor, in the space they actually have.
The syllabus runs through the situations that come up with small children:
- Infant and child CPR, with correct hand position and compression depth for each age
- Choking in a baby and in a child, including back blows and abdominal thrusts
- The recovery position adapted for an infant
- Casualty assessment, unresponsive breathing casualties and calling for help
- Anaphylaxis and use of an adrenaline auto-injector
- Seizures, febrile convulsions, asthma and meningitis awareness
- Bleeding, burns, scalds, head injuries, fractures and shock
Life-threatening bleed control is now trained on every course we run, paediatric included. Practical, not theory alone.
Course Formats and Duration for Maidenhead Homes
The 1950s and 1960s detached houses on the Chiltern Estate between Maidenhead and Bray have a through lounge and a kitchen you can clear, which is more than enough floor for a childminder group of six with manikins out. Older stock around Grenfell Park, Victorian and 1920s-30s, tends to be tighter, so we bring compact kit and set up in whatever room has the clearest carpet.
Two formats exist. Full paediatric first aid runs 12 hours over two days. Emergency paediatric first aid runs 6 hours in one day. Both can be delivered blended: the theory is completed online in your own time, then the practical element is taught face to face at your premises, with the assessment done in person on the day. The blended route suits a nursery that cannot release a whole team for two consecutive days.
Rebecca sets the group sizes so everyone gets hands-on time rather than watching.
Who the Course Is For
Half the people on a typical Maidenhead course have already done an adult course at work and assume the technique carries over. It does not. Compression depth, rescue breath volume and the choking sequence all change for an infant, and that is the gap the training closes.
The course is written for nursery staff, pre-school and after-school club staff, childminders and nannies working towards registration, sports coaches, playgroup volunteers, and parents or grandparents who simply want the skill. No prior qualification is needed. If you are searching for a paediatric first aid course near you in Maidenhead, the training comes to your setting rather than the other way round.
Mixed groups work well. Everyone practises on the same manikins.
Course Dates, Venues and Delivery Options
Belmont and Boyn Hill are named wards in the town's neighbourhood planning material, and scheduling across a town laid out like Maidenhead matters when a setting has staff travelling in from Cox Green or Pinkneys Green. Training is delivered at your own premises only, on dates you pick, including weekends and evenings for settings that cannot close.
Whether you need a paediatric first aid course in Maidenhead or emergency first aid for schools services Maidenhead, we cover the town and the surrounding areas across Berkshire. Outdoor provision counts too: forest school sessions at Braywick Nature Park or a summer event in Kidwells Park, which has held Green Flag status since 2012, raise different injury patterns, and the practical work can be pitched at that.
Trainers are in-house. We never outsource a session to a subcontractor.

Certification and Validity
The certificate is the part Ofsted asks to see, so the paperwork has to be right before anyone packs the manikins away. Our first aid courses are accredited by FAIB, and the certificate is valid for three years and recognised by HSE, Ofsted and the DfE. Our mental health courses sit under FAA, which is a separate accreditation and is kept separate.
Assessment is continuous, carried out by the trainer through the practical work and a short written element, so nobody is sat waiting on an exam result. Refresher training before the three years lapse keeps a setting compliant without a gap. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) sets out the responsibilities employers carry for first aid provision, and the same record-keeping habit serves an early years setting well.
Alongside paediatric first aid services, Aim2Aid Ltd runs workplace, defibrillator and fire safety training from 70 Fountain Gardens, Windsor, company number 16319053. Rebecca Sullivan leads a team whose combined experience runs to over 50 years, and she sets the standard every trainer works to rather than delivering every session herself. Certificates are issued promptly after the course.
