If you’re responsible for the care and well-being of young children then learning paediatric first aid should be at the forefront of your thinking as from emergency situations to adding to your professional CV, there's never a better time than right now to undertake a first aid course.
The two paediatric first aid courses below are run in Sussex and the South East and are tailored to meet the new Early Years foundation stage (EYFS) and registration on the OFSTED statutory and voluntary register.
Both courses are aimed at childcarers, including: nursery staff, childminders, at home childcarers, au pairs, nannies and anyone wishing to voluntarily join the OFSTED register. Our paediatric first aid courses fall in line with the Early Years foundation stage (EYFS) which states that a combination of face to face learning and home study can be applied when learning first aid as a childcare worker.
Are the courses Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) recognised?
We are also a Qualifications Network (QNUK) centre and can therefore offer an optional Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) certification (additional charge applied).

My staff attended a training course held by Stacey, many of which had done the course a minimum of three times before.
They said they had never been to a first aid course as good as this one! It was so in depth and informative, yet Stacey kept it practical, fun and exciting for staff. The team came into work Monday still discussing some of the topics they had covered and could not stress enough how valuable the course had been. This in turn put the whole management team at ease knowing the staff felt so confident in their paediatric first aid. Alice, Manager Little Monkeys Day Nursery, Horsham, 2019.

Excellent in every way! I booked the paediatric first aid course for my renewal. Class size was perfect, trainer was very knowledgeable with recent hands on experience. Training was great value for money. Will definitely be back in 3 years time, if not before

The trainer delivered it really well and I came away learning new things and with more confidence in first aid situations. Thank you
Jo S, March 2016Brilliant and lovely staff that are very knowledgeable on First Aid, there is no pressure when passing the course. Its fun and easy to learn. We shall use you again in the future
My First Friends Nursery, February 2016I have been on a lot of first aid training over the years and what I particularly enjoyed on Saturday was the relaxed atmosphere, it wasn’t rushed and it went at a good pace. The instructor was friendly, warm and approachable. For myself to have the course broken down to one day training followed up by the work book, fitted in so well, as we all lead such busy lives. The convenience of the location too was an added bonus. I would thoroughly recommend your organisation to others.
Charity Manger, West Sussex, March 2016Excellent first aid course that more than suited my needs as a childminder.
Nicky, Childminder, March 2016Brilliant!! Would definitely recommend to other people, the trainer was great!
Mollie, March 2016I recently attended a first aid course with Kay and she was fantastic. I always dread going on these courses every three years as I am a registered childminder and so far it's the best course I have been to.
Kay made everyone at ease and it was very friendly. I would recommend to anyone and would be booking another course with them. Thank you Kay and Julie xx
Melissa, Childminder April, 2016The trainer, a paramedic, was friendly and communicated very well with the students. She was a real expert and taught in such a comfortable and easy to understand manner about the procedures required for first aid. Sarah was up to date in matters of legality and of best practice. She put the group at ease and provided a good range of refreshments which I felt was particularly thoughtful. I was very happy with the course and left feeling confident about my practice in this vital area of my work. Thank you Sarah and thank you Baby and Beyond!
Jan Chisnall, TOYBOX Pre-School at Brighton Women's Centre, March 2018I attended the Pediatric Frist Aid course this weekend which was taught by Kay. This is my fourth First Aid course but my first with To Baby & Beyond. I will definitely be booking with you again. I found the course fun and informative. Better that there were only 8 of us and even better that I only had to give up one day to do my course (I'm a childminder so giving up a day means loss of earnings). The venue was ideal and Kay made the course interesting and fun. Will be recommending To Baby and Beyond to others looking to take this course.
Debbie Dunkerton, Childminder, November 2017A lovely trainer who made me feel at ease. I have used To Baby and Beyond three times now. I wouldn't use anyone else. I now feel confident in my ability to deliver first aid.
