It's practical training, so you'll spend most of the day with your hands on manikins rather than watching slides. We start with casualty assessment, because everything else follows from it. Infant and child CPR comes next, then the recovery position, then the conditions early years staff meet most often. Life-threatening bleed control is now trained on every course we run, paediatric included. Rebecca insists on that, and it's a skill you don't forget. The rest of the day covers head injuries, fractures, febrile convulsions, asthma, anaphylaxis and meningitis awareness. We're not skipping the awkward bits. If a child in your care collapses on the way back from Palmer Park, you need to know what your first three actions are. **Call Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training on 07771 680794 to book a Paediatric First Aid Course in Reading at your own setting, with FAIB accreditation and a free quote.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794) ## Course Formats and Duration for Reading Homes There are two routes, and the right one depends on what your role demands. We'll tell you which you need before you book, not after. ### Full 12-hour paediatric first aid The full course runs over two days and is the one most nurseries, childminders and nannies are asked for. It's the qualification that satisfies early years staffing requirements, and it's the one we recommend if your setting is registered. ### Emergency paediatric first aid The shorter emergency course covers the immediate life-saving elements. It suits assistants, volunteers, sports coaches and parents who want capability rather than a registration tick. It also sits well alongside workplace training for your staff. ### Blended delivery as an option Blended delivery is available if classroom time is hard to release. The theory is completed online in your own time, and the practical assessment is done in person at your premises. The compliance outcome is identical, and so is the three-year certificate. ## Certification and Validity in Reading Our first aid courses are accredited by FAIB, and the certificate is valid for three years. It's recognised by HSE, Ofsted and the DfE, which is what matters when an inspector asks to see your file. Assessment is continuous. There's no written exam sprung on you at four o'clock. Your trainer watches you work through the practical scenarios and asks questions as you go. Almost everyone passes, because we teach until it sticks. Worried you'll pay over the odds for the paperwork? You won't, because the certificate, the workbook, the manikins and the trainer's travel to your premises are all in one quote, with nothing bolted on afterwards. ## Course Dates, Venues and Delivery Options We train at your premises only, on a date you choose. That means a nursery on Christchurch Road, a preschool near St Mary's Butts or a converted Victorian terrace off Oxford Road, whichever suits your team. Many of those older buildings are in conservation areas, so we work around narrow stairs and tight rooms rather than complaining about them. Our trainers are in-house. We never outsource, and Rebecca Sullivan leads the team, which is why standards don't drift between one booking and the next. Between them they hold over 50 years of combined experience. Aim2Aid Ltd is a registered company, number 16319053, if you want to check us before you commit. **Call Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training on 07771 680794 to book a Paediatric First Aid Course in Reading at your own setting, with FAIB accreditation and a free quote.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794) ## EYFS, Ofsted and Childcare Compliance The training is built to meet EYFS requirements and childcare registration rules, and it's accepted for nanny and childminder registration. As the [Health and Safety Executive](https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/l74.htm) sets out, training has to come from a competent provider, and that principle applies just as firmly in early years settings as it does in an office.

Our [paediatric first aid course services](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/first-aid-training/paediatric-first-aid/) are booked the same way wherever you are: one call, one date, one quote. ### What your Ofsted file needs You'll get named certificates for every delegate, showing the accreditation and the expiry date. We'll flag renewals before they lapse, so you're not scrambling. ### Ratios and cover Settings usually train more staff than the minimum, so holidays and sickness don't leave you short. We'll talk that through honestly and won't push numbers you don't need. ## Who the Course Is For and Practical Skills Taught Nursery staff, childminders, nannies, teaching assistants, sports coaches, foster carers and parents all sit these courses. Groups mix well. A parent from a Kendrick Road household learns the same chest compressions as a nursery manager near Market Place.
