Sarah Phillips - First Aid Trainer of the Year
Expectant parents love our Baby & Child First Aid class because it gives them practical, hands-on skills and the confidence to respond calmly in an emergency. From learning how to help a choking baby to practising CPR on infant mannequins, the session provides reassurance and peace of mind before their little one arrives. It’s a friendly, supportive environment where parents-to-be can ask questions, build confidence, and leave feeling prepared for those unexpected moments.
Becoming a new parent is exciting but can also feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to keeping your baby safe. Our Baby & Child First Aid class is ideal for new parents who want to build confidence and know what to do in an emergency. From learning how to help a choking infant to practising life-saving CPR, this practical course provides reassurance and peace of mind during those early days of parenthood. You’ll leave feeling more prepared, more confident, and ready to enjoy every precious moment with your new baby.
Our Baby & Child First Aid class isn’t just for babies – it’s designed for parents and carers of children aged 1–18 too. As children grow, they become more adventurous and active, which can bring new risks and challenges. This course gives you the confidence to respond to incidents such as choking, CPR, falls, burns, and more, ensuring you’re prepared at every stage of childhood. With practical, hands-on training, you’ll leave feeling reassured that you can handle emergencies – whether with toddlers on the move or children exploring.
Grandparents play such an important role in their grandchildren’s lives – often helping out when parents return to work or enjoying precious time together during visits. Our Baby & Child First Aid class is perfect for grandparents who want to feel confident and prepared for any situation, from dealing with bumps and burns to recognising when a child needs urgent medical help. It’s a friendly, practical session that provides peace of mind and helps grandparents enjoy their time with little ones, knowing they can respond in an emergency.
Relatives and close family friends are often a huge support to parents, whether it’s helping out during busy times, babysitting, or simply enjoying fun days together. Our Baby & Child First Aid class is perfect for those who want to feel confident when caring for little ones, even for short periods. The course covers essential skills like dealing with choking, CPR, burns, and bumps, giving reassurance that children are safe and well looked after. It’s peace of mind for parents and confidence for the whole family circle.
Babysitters are trusted with children’s care and safety, often for long periods of time while parents are away. Our Baby & Child First Aid class is a fantastic way for babysitters to build confidence and learn the skills needed to act quickly in an emergency. From dealing with bumps and falls to recognising the signs of choking or when to call for help, this course provides essential knowledge that gives both babysitters and parents peace of mind. Completing this training not only makes babysitters more prepared but also shows families their commitment to keeping children safe.
Our Baby & Child First Aid class doesn’t just cover emergency skills – we also look at first aid kits and what’s really useful to have at home, in the car, or when out and about. We discuss the essential items every family should keep on hand, where to store them for quick access, and a few extras that can make all the difference in everyday situations. Parents and carers leave not only with the knowledge of what to do in an emergency, but also with the confidence that they’re properly equipped to handle the unexpected.
During our Baby & Child First Aid class, we don’t just focus on the practical skills – we also look at where to go for help and when. From knowing when a trip to the pharmacy is enough, to recognising when to contact NHS 111, visit your GP, or call 999 in a medical emergency, understanding who to reach out to is a vital part of keeping children safe. This guidance helps parents and carers feel more confident about making the right decisions in stressful situations.
We know how important it is for new parents to feel comfortable, which is why babies are always welcome at our Baby & Child First Aid classes. There’s plenty of space for pushchairs and car seats, and you’re welcome to bring a mat for your little one too. Parents love that they don’t need to worry about childcare – they can learn these vital skills while keeping their baby close by. It makes for a relaxed, supportive environment where everyone feels at ease.
