Mini First Aid Bath & North Somerset

29/12/2025

🚨 Most parents hope they’ll never need first aid…

But emergencies don’t come with warnings and when they happen, you might just be the first or only person there.

Taking a Mini First Aid class isn’t about fear. It’s about feeling prepared, calm, and confident just in case.

Here’s what you will gain 👇

You will learn how to stay calm under pressure, so your head doesn’t go blank when your child needs you.

You will feel confident stepping in quickly, knowing exactly what to do when every second counts.

You will start noticing risks you’d never thought about before, and learn simple ways to prevent accidents at home or in your setting.

You will understand the correct first response for common childhood injuries, which can help reduce pain, complications, and recovery time.

You will actually remember what you’ve learned, because our classes are fun, practical, and hands-on.

First aid skills don’t just sit in your head. They give you peace of mind every day.

📍 In-person classes for parents, carers, grandparents & professionals across the UK.

A first aid kit might not be top of everyone’s wish list for Christmas but if you have a new or expectant parent in your life, it could just be the most practical and useful gift they will get!

Our mini kit is small enough to pop in a baby’s change bag or under a buggy, but packed with 74 useful items to help treat all those little accidents or injuries. It even comes with bravery stickers to give to your little one if they need treatment.

Grab yours today and pop it under the tree!

🎄 A safe, sparkly Christmas starts here 🎄

Christmas with little ones is pure magic - the twinkly lights, the excited squeals, the new family traditions in the making.

But amidst all the festive fun, it’s also a time when a few extra safety considerations can make a big difference. That’s why we’ve teamed up with our brilliant friends at Safety and Twinkl Parents to bring you a trusted, practical and joy-filled guide to keeping your home safe this season.

From child-friendly décor tips to festive play ideas, we’ve got everything you need for a merry, magical and worry-free Christmas with your little elves.

Ahh, Christmas… the season for cosy family time, twinkly lights and (hopefully!) a well-earned breather. It’s the perfect excuse to turn...

When breastfeeding is painful, it can feel not only physically sore, but emotionally harrowing too. Not all new mums find breastfeeding easy or that it comes naturally; it can take time and practice.

The most common cause of ni**le pain is poor positioning or a poor latch, but ongoing pain may also be a sign of something else, like thrush, tongue-tie or a bacterial infection, so please seek help from your midwife or GP if you are struggling.

Swipe through for NHS guidance on treating ni**le pain during breastfeeding and reach out for breastfeeding support if you are finding it tough - your health visitor should be able to point you to local support groups, and the offers free drop-in sessions across the UK, see their website for information.

🎉 That’s a wrap on Workplace First Aid Training for 2025!

It’s been a hugely successful year for .bath.nsomerset — we’ve doubled the number of people attending our workplace first aid courses compared to 2024!

This year, we’ve proudly supported learners through:
✨ Emergency First Aid at Work
✨ Emergency Paediatric First Aid
✨ Paediatric First Aid
✨ First Aid at Work Requalification
…with a mix of public courses and private team sessions.

We rounded off the year perfectly last night with a (mince-pie-fuelled!) Blended Paediatric First Aid course at Chestnut Park Primary School in Yatton — where 11 more teaching staff learned how to confidently help little ones in an emergency.

To minimise disruption to teaching time, staff completed 6 hours of online learning followed by two 3-hour evening practical sessions — a format that’s worked brilliantly for them over the last two years.

We already have several schools and workplaces booked in for January, plus public classes running regularly at our new venue in Congresbury.

If you or your team are due First Aid Training in 2026, please get in touch to organise a session — or head to the website to book onto a public course:
🌐 www.northsomerset.minifirstaid.co.uk

💚 Thank you to everyone who has chosen Mini First Aid for their training this year. Your support means the world to us, and we hope to see you again soon!

🟢 Gagging and choking during weaning 🟢

We know that weaning can feel like a rollercoaster - exciting one minute and totally nerve-wracking the next. One of the biggest worries parents share with us is understanding the difference between gagging and choking. So we’re thrilled to feature a guest blog from Paediatric Feeding and Swallowing Specialist Laura Bottiglieri - Milk to Mealtime, who breaks it all down in a calm, clear, confidence-boosting way.

If you’re starting (or already deep into!) the weaning journey, this is a brilliant read to help you feel more prepared, more reassured, and more able to support your little one as they learn.

Weaning is one of those parenting milestones that brings all the feelings - excitement, nerves, pride, and a fair bit of “is this normal...
