First Aid Training

First Aid training that meets the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (2025)  

This guidance applies to all early years and childcare providers in the maintained and non maintained sectors.
The Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage requires that First Aid training must be relevant for practitioners caring for young children.  The first aid courses need to be of at least 12 hours duration.  At least one person who has a current paediatric first aid certificate must be on the premises at all times when children are present. There must be at least one person on outings who has a current paediatric first aid certificate.  Childminders and any assistant who might be in sole charge of the children for any period of time, must both hold a current paediatric First Aid certificate.  Funding for the first aid training must be met by the provider as part of their business costs.  The list below is a sample of First Aid trainers. Please contact them directly to confirm costs and availability.  

 

Providers can organise training at their own setting and invite other providers to attend to meet minimum number of people required by the trainer. Childminders can organise training  with other childminders.

 

First Aid training is widely available, the following list is a sample of training providers:
