Childcare Response Lvl 1
Essential Child &
Infant First Aid
For caregivers, nannies, and childcare staff — gain practical first aid skills and confidence to act quickly in any emergency, with hands-on training from healthcare professionals.
every second counts
When a child is in danger, every heartbeat matters.
A toddler choking. A baby turning blue. A child found face-down in a pool. Moments like these are rare – but when they happen, the only thing that makes a difference is what you do next.
"The ladies have not stopped raving about the course on Saturday. Most of them have done the CPR course before, but they said the way you explained things made it so much clearer and easier for them to understand, so thank you again!"
Melanie Bedford-Shaw – Casa Dei Bambini
