Mini First Aid offers a range of classes across the UK for all the family; parents, grandparents, carers and for children as young as three years old, training them in basic and life-saving first aid.
Ruth is a qualified nurse who spent over a decade supporting parents as a health visitor, and has spent the last three years working as a childminder. Mum to four boys and one girl, aged from babyhood to twenties, Ruth knows only too well from first hand experience how vital having first aid knowledge can be. She is passionate about caring and nurturing for young children and is looking forward to helping others learn this important skill to help the little people in their lives.
Kym is a qualified nurse and Health Visitor, and has spent the last year working as a childminder. She is a Mum to 3 sons and daughter and a step-mum to twin girls. Two of her children were born prematurely and had associated breathing difficulties. Having experience this and the inevitable bumps and scrapes over the years that being a Mum of 6 entails, Kym knows first hand the importance of first aid training, and she is passionate about teaching life-saving information to others.
I cannot recommend Mini First Aid enough. Kate ran a private class for me and my 11 year old daughter in the comfort of our own home, which was perfect especially as my babies are due any day now. My daughter and I feel much more confident in knowing what to do in a range of emergency situations and I also got some extra twin tips from Kate as a fellow twin Mum! It's such an important life skill that every parent and carer should have so I would urge you to book a Mini First Aid course today.
We attended the Mini First Aid class when I was pregnant last year. Fast forward to now and my baby girl is 8months old and my training has just saved her life! My daughter began silently choking on a piece of toast and had started to turn purple, because of my training I remained as calm as can be in that situation and was able to get her in the correct position and give her some black blows and retrieve the nasty culprit. £20 I paid for that course, it was the best £20 I ever spent because my daughter's life is priceless. I know for a fact before attending the course I would have just panicked and screamed, not knowing the best course of action. Thank you so much Mini First Aid, you saved my daughter's life and for that I'm eternally grateful.
The Mini First Aid Class (filmed for ITVBe) was a fantastic class, both Arg and I found it a really good and informative session
This is a very valuable and reassuring couple of hours with expert advice and a friendly atmosphere where you can ask questions, however basic they may seem. A real confidence booster for anyone who looks after little people. Could be worth a huge amount more than £20!
We completed the course when our baby was tiny and now am very thankful we did. At 8 months old now and into everything, he started to choke on an ice cube. He went red, couldn't cough and was starting to go blue. The invaluable advice learnt at the course most certainly helped to save his life! Thank you Mini First Aid x
"We are so glad we have done a Mini First Aid class. We enjoyed the class, found it really useful and feel so much more prepared in the build up to having our baby.”
There are a gazillion things I never seem to get around to doing (fixing the broken blind in our bedroom, getting some photos printed of ‘the baby’ who is almost two but still doesn’t exist on our walls, pinning down the coffee date I’ve been promising my neglected friend via WhatsApp for at least 6 months…) BUT this morning I finally got my arse in gear and ticked off something from my ‘Really Must Do’ list by attending a First Aid class designed specifically for parents, grandparents and carers of babies and young children. It took just two hours out of my morning and covered a whole host of stuff including what to do if a child is choking, how to deal with burns/breaks/bleeding and the basics of life-saving CPR for kids.
It was a pleasure meeting Kate and Jacky from Mini First Aid and being taught what to do in case of an emergency. Learning CPR and what to do when a child is choking is invaluable. Obviously, I hope I never had to use the things I learned in today’s class, but horrible things happen and knowing these techniques can really make a huge difference. The class was fun and accessible given the seriousness of the topic. I would highly recommend everyone doing it.
Ruth came to our house to give us and some friends a mini first aid class as we couldn't make it to one of her regularly scheduled courses. She was amazing - deftly handling two clambering babies while showing us the ropes, making certain that we were comfortable with all of the information, and bringing along a whole trunk of props and pamphlets. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who has young children. We feel more confident in our ability to assess and act now than we did before, which is invaluable. Thank you Ruth!
The session was brilliant. Just what I needed to boost my confidence. I’d really recommend to anyone looking after babies and children. £20 is excellent value for the 2 hours. Thank you!
What a really helpful and informative session. Found it to be very easy going whilst providing some expert guidance to help build confidence. Would thoroughly recommend.
Sky are always looking for ways to better support their staff and Parents@Sky Network offers support and benefits to staff who are parents. I came across Mini First Aid through a Facebook promotion and there was a huge demand for the Infant and Child First Aid class which was shared on our internal and external social channels. The communication and organisation of the event was excellent - Sarah-Lou was professional, engaging and even injected some parent style humour! The class was interactive and educational - everyone took something away from it including much more confidence in dealing with any emergencies which could arise with their little ones. The feedback received on the back of it was amazing! It was a great success and hopefully something we can do again, and potentially roll out to other sites in the UK. Thank you Mini First Aid, you were a pleasure to deal with!
