Daisy First Aid are proud partners of the Children’s Activities Association and Institute of Children’s activity Providers.

We believe everyone who cares for children should learn basic paediatric first aid skills.

Are you a children’s activity provider? Would you know what to do if a child in your class banged their head? Or had a seizure? Or if they stopped breathing suddenly?

As anyone who’s ever worked with children or has their own children will know, with kids around you never know what might happen!

As a class instructor or organiser people will look to you for advice on what to do in an emergency so it’s vitally important to have the skills, knowledge and confidence to know how to act quickly, appropriately and efficiently in the event of an emergency involving a baby or child.

At Daisy First Aid we provide essential first aid skills to children’s activity providers so they and their customers can be confident should the unexpected happen.

Daisy First Aid provides training for childcare professionals and activity providers to give them the confidence to know what to do in an emergency.

There are lots of ways to learn: face-to-face, live online, e-Learning and there are a number of different courses available.
