Paediatric First Aid Courses for Childminders

Your childcare business depends on being prepared

As a childminder, you are responsible for children’s safety throughout the day. But finding a first aid course should not mean recruiting a group of colleagues or paying for private training. Quint Education offers scheduled small-group paediatric first aid courses at our Edgware training location in North West London or at King’s Cross, so you can book an individual place alongside other childcare professionals.

A course that works for independent childminders

• Book one place. No need to organise a group or meet an on-site minimum.
• Scheduled courses every two weeks at each of our two London locations.
• Small groups, typically 4 to 8 learners, with space for practical learning.
• A childcare-focused course designed around first aid for babies and young children.

Understand your EYFS first aid responsibilities

Registered childminders in England must meet the applicable EYFS paediatric first aid requirements. Where a childminder works alone, they must hold a current full paediatric first aid certificate. Certificates must be renewed every three years.

We can help you identify the appropriate course. Please confirm that the course you book meets the current EYFS requirements for your role.

Course options and what you receive

Full Paediatric First Aid (12 hours): the full course is designed around the EYFS Annex A syllabus. It normally includes two days of learning, with practical assessment, and successful learners receive a certificate valid for three years.
