Paediatric First Aid Course in Slough

Right now, a choking baby in your setting means panic, a phone in a shaking hand and a long wait for help. After a day's training, the same room has someone who kneels down, clears the airway and keeps everyone calm until the ambulance arrives.

Aim2Aid Ltd is Windsor based, company number 16319053, with in-house trainers who also deliver our emergency first aid for schools services Slough settings rely on; you can read what people say on our reviews widget.

What Paediatric First Aid Covers

Paediatric first aid covers what you do in the minutes before an ambulance arrives to a baby or child. It's practical, hands-on training for the emergencies that actually happen in nurseries, schools and family homes. We've built the course around infant and child CPR, choking, unresponsive casualties and the recovery position.

Alongside that, you'll work through bleeding, burns, head injuries, seizures, allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. Casualty assessment runs through the whole day, because knowing what you're looking at comes first. Life-threatening bleed control is now trained on every course we run, paediatric included, so nobody leaves without it.

Our courses are accredited by FAIB, and the certificate lasts three years. That certificate is recognised by HSE, Ofsted and the DfE, which is what most childcare employers in Slough are being asked to evidence.

Practical Skills Taught and Who the Course Is For

You'll spend most of the day on your feet, not sat listening. Delegates work on infant and junior manikins, practise chest compressions and rescue breaths, and rehearse back blows and abdominal thrusts on the right size of casualty. We run scenarios rather than lectures, because muscle memory is what survives a real emergency.

The course suits nursery and pre-school staff, childminders, nannies, teaching assistants, after-school and holiday club leaders, foster carers, and parents or grandparents who simply want to be ready. Whether you need a paediatric first aid course in Slough or a paediatric first aid course in Milton Keynes, we cover the whole area.

• Infant and child CPR, with correct hand and finger positions
• Choking in a baby and in a child, treated differently
• Severe bleeding, catastrophic bleed control and shock
• Burns, scalds, fractures and head injuries
• Seizures, febrile convulsions, asthma and anaphylaxis
• Recovery position and safe handover to the emergency services

Course Dates, Venues and Delivery Options in Slough

We train at your premises only, so the group learns in the room they'll actually be working in. That's a nursery hall in Cippenham, a staff room off the Slough Trading Estate, a childminder's front room in Langley or a community space over near Salt Hill Park. Dates are set around you, including weekends and inset days.

Because we come to you, there's no travel time and no cover costs for staff crossing town. Worried a paediatric first aid course will cost more than it's worth? Everything is included in one quote: the trainer, the manikins, the workbooks, the certificates and the travel, with nothing added afterwards. Whether you need a paediatric first aid course in Slough or first aid at work in Slough, we cover the whole area, and we'll happily quote for emergency first aid at work services Slough employers need at the same time.

Our trainers are in-house and never outsourced. Rebecca leads the team, and between them they hold over 50 years of combined experience. You won't get a stranger from an agency turning up at your door.

EYFS, Ofsted and Childcare Compliance

The EYFS statutory framework requires paediatric first aid training that meets set criteria, and our FAIB accredited course is written to it. If you're registering as a childminder in Britwell or Upton, or staffing ratios at a nursery in Chalvey, this is the qualification inspectors expect to see on file.

Certificates are issued for three years and are recognised by HSE, Ofsted and the DfE. The Health and Safety Executive sets out how employers should assess their own first aid needs, and we'll talk that through with you honestly before you book anything.

Course Formats and Duration

The full paediatric first aid course runs over two days, twelve hours in total. Emergency paediatric first aid is the one-day option, six hours, for settings where that's sufficient under your risk assessment. Both carry a three-year certificate.

Blended delivery is an option too: the theory is completed online in your own time, and the practical assessment is done at your premises with a trainer in the room. It's the same qualification and the same three-year certificate, and it keeps staff off the rota for less time. Emergency First Aid at Work, if you need it alongside, is one day, about six hours, up to 12 delegates, with a 3-year certificate, and we include the paediatric element at no extra cost.

Ring Rebecca Sullivan's team and we'll tell you which format fits your setting. If it's the shorter course you need, we'll say so.
