First Aid for Nursery & Play Groups
The First Aid for Nursery & Play Groups course is based on the Paediatric First Aid Course with adjustments to cater for the likely age of the children being cared for. While the course can be delivered as in-house training, it is more common for new members of staff or nominated first-aiders within the nursery or play group to attend an open enrolment public course.
This course can also be delivered as a blended course. Part of the course is undertaken online with the remaining 6 hours being classroom based. See more details here
