As of 1st September 2014, OFSTED Statutory Framework for Early Years Foundation Stage requires that at least one person with a valid paediatric first aid certificate must be on the premises and available at all times when children are present and must accompany children on outings.
Surrey First Aid Training is the leading provider of Paediatric First Aid in the South East. We have delivered this course for over 20 years. We hold our Blended Learning Paediatric First Aid and Forest School Leader courses in Guildford. Our courses are delivered in small informal groups of child carers and taught by Paediatric First Aid experts such as nurses and paramedics. We will ensure the course is relevant and interesting and most importantly practical, with casualty simulation and interactive workshops. We promise parking is always free and refreshments provided.
