Paediatric First Aid

About this course

The Paediatric First Aid Certificate is a mandatory component of the Early Years Educator Apprenticeship. Eden Training Solutions support all apprentices and employers, we work under the Qualifications Network UK which is one of the UK’s leading Awarding Organisations for First Aid and Safety qualifications. Working under this awarding body, our aim is to contribute to the reduction of workplace injuries and illness through effective training and education.

For Early Years/Childcare settings, the Paediatric First Aid qualification is one of the routes to achieving this aim; however, for learners to have effective education, they need highly competent trainers, sufficient resources, engaging learning environments, and valid assessments. These high standards are maintained through our effective quality assurance processes.

Millie's Mark Award

Millie’s Mark will be awarded as a special endorsement to childcare providers that go above and beyond these minimum requirements by having 100% of staff trained in paediatric first aid, and also ensuring that everything learned during the course is kept alive and in the forefront of practitioners’ minds so that they are confident, ready and capable.

When your setting gains the Millie’s Mark accreditation, you provide reassurance for your parents that all childcare practitioners know what to do in a paediatric first aid situation. It acknowledges that children’s safety is at the forefront of your mind when you care for children.

Eden will provide support through Eden Paediatrics to ensure employers are accredited to this industry quality mark.

I took your level three first aid course on Monday with Natalie Kay. She was brilliant, her bubbly personality and knowledge of her subject easily made this the best first aid course I have undertaken. The online part was easy to access and complete with little mini quizzes. The practical session was split into sections with Natalie assessing us doing various procedures. Then there was a final test. Well run course and I feel confident and comfortable with my knowledge and skills if I was ever needed to put them into practice.
