Paediatric First Aid Training

Childcare workers and nursery practitioners are the first responders in over 80% of paediatric medical incidents in early years settings, yet most receive no structured paediatric first aid training before their very first shift! If you work with or care for children and want to feel truly prepared when it counts, this Paediatric First Aid Diploma course gives you exactly the skills you need.

It’s fully online and self-paced so you train on any device whenever it suits you. Everything is aligned with Resuscitation Council UK guidance and EYFS expectations, so what you’re learning meets real UK childcare standards.

You’ll cover infant and child CPR, choking management, burns, bleeding, seizures, anaphylaxis, and when to call 999. Finish with a CPD certificate recognised by UK childcare employers, nurseries, and schools, and the calm, confident ability to act fast when a child needs you most.
