Paediatric First Aid Training for Schools & Pre-Schools

Training designed around your setting

Organising first aid training for several members of staff can mean juggling cover, timetables and competing priorities. Quint Education makes it easier for school leaders, pre-school managers and EYFS coordinators to arrange group paediatric first aid training at a time and place that works for their team.

Whether you are refreshing expiring certificates, training newly recruited staff or building greater first aid cover across your setting, we can help you plan a practical group session.

Why book with Quint Education?

• We come to you: training at your school or pre-school, provided there is suitable space for practical activities.
• Small groups welcome: weekday on-site bookings from just 2 learners; weekend group bookings from 4. Larger groups can be discussed.
• Less disruption: plan sessions around staff availability, inset days or agreed weekend dates.
• Early years focus: training for staff caring for babies and young children, including EYFS teams and pre-school practitioners.
• Help with venues: if your site is unsuitable, book a suitable local venue and we can deliver there.

Understanding your first aid responsibilities

In England, the EYFS statutory framework requires appropriate paediatric first aid cover for early years provision, including a person with a current full paediatric first aid certificate available whenever children are present and on outings. Additional qualification requirements apply to certain staff counted in EYFS staff-to-child ratios. Requirements for older pupils and school first aid arrangements can differ.

We can discuss the course that best matches your setting.
