Blended Paediatric First Aid in Essex

First aid is a vital life skill — and when you’re caring for young children, it’s more important than ever. Paediatric first aid is a key requirement for anyone working in early years settings, and is a requirement for those working towards Level 2 or Level 3 qualifications.

Nannies and childminders also require paediatric first aid, particularly if they wish to register with Ofsted.

We offer flexible paediatric first aid training to suit your needs. We can offer the two-day face-to-face courses or the blended learning option. Simply let us know your preference when booking.

Our blended Paediatric First Aid course combines some prior online learning which can be done at your own pace. This is followed by a day of in-person training. It will give you the full 12 hour paediatric first aid certificate.

This option is especially popular with nurseries and preschools, as it minimises time away from the workplace.

The course is suitable for nannies, childminders, nursery nurses, and anyone working within the early years sector. It can be completed as a first-time qualification or as a refresher.

Safety First Welling delivers high-quality blended paediatric first aid training you can trust in Essex.

  • Blended Paediatric First Aid has become a popular option for many early years settings.

    What is a Blended Paediatric First Aid Course?

    It is a paediatric first aid course which is delivered part online and part face to face.

    This blended paediatric first aid course is suitable for anyone who works with young children.

    It is delivered in two parts.  First of all the learner completes an online course and then the second part is delivered face-to-face.  

    The course content meets Ofsted requirements for first aid training in Early Years settings.

    Part 1 - interactive elearning module with videos and voice over. 

    It can be done at any time before you attend the face to face training in several sittings if needed. 

    Once you confirm that you are attending the course or book a space you will be sent a code which you can use to complete the elearning module.  This needs to be completed before the online part.

  • What our clients say

    • "***** was very particularly grateful for the excellent training as she was at her niece’s baby shower yesterday (who is 36 weeks pregnant) and she was opening her gifts when all of a sudden she started spasming and had an epileptic fit.

      She felt confident enough to assist the other ladies there, keeping her safe and protected and remembering to then lay her down in the recovery position on her left side and call the ambulance etc.

      She doesn’t have epilepsy but has been since told that it can happen in pregnancy (it lasted about 3 mins). Such vital things that you taught us, already been put into practice."
