Paediatric First Aid Courses: Qualsafe Regulated Training for Early Years Professionals

Are you working with children in a nursery, primary school, after-school club, as a childminder, or in a similar role? Ensure you’re fully prepared for any medical emergency with our Qualsafe Regulated Level 3 Emergency Paediatric First Aid (1-day) and Level 3 Paediatric First Aid (2-day) courses. These specialised paediatric first aid courses are designed specifically for those working in early years education and childcare settings, providing you with the confidence and skills to handle any situation.

Why Choose a Paediatric First Aid Qualification?

While a general First Aid at Work qualification is valuable, our Paediatric First Aid courses go further, focusing specifically on the unique needs of children. Children aren’t just small adults; their bodies react differently to illnesses and injuries and incidents involving children can often attract additional stress and scrutiny.

Our specialist training equips you with the knowledge and skills to:

Understand Child-Specific Emergencies: Learn how to recognise and treat common childhood illnesses like febrile seizures, infant choking and allergic reactions, which don’t enjoy the same level of focus on standard first aid courses.
Adapt Techniques for Children: Discover how to adapt standard first aid techniques, like CPR, using an automatic external defibrillator (AED) and bandaging, to suit the age and size of a child.
Gain Confidence: Develop the confidence to act quickly and effectively in any paediatric emergency, knowing you have the specialised training to handle the situation.
Meet Regulatory Requirements: Our courses meet the requirements set by Ofsted and the DfE framework for early years settings, ensuring your childcare provision is compliant.
