£30. That’s what it costs to learn how to save your baby’s life.

How? By taking just a couple of hours to learn baby & child first aid with Mini First Aid.

Our final open class in
2025 takes place this Saturday afternoon at Burbage Millenium Hall at 2pm. Bookings and further info can be made via the link below.

Learn how to recognise if your baby or child is choking and how to effectively clear their airway.
Learn how to carry out CPR on a baby or child by getting hands-on with a maniquin, so you would have the practical skills should you ever need them.
Learn about signs & symptoms of meningitis and sepsis, thereby enabling you to more confidently identify when a baby or child may be seriously unwell.

We teach all this and much more in our 2-hour baby & child first aid class. Small group, relaxed and informative sessions to equip you with the skills, knowledge and confidence you deserve as a parent or caregiver.

It could be the most important £30 you ever spend as a parent.

✨ We’re up to date with the new Resuscitation Council UK guidelines ✨

Resuscitation Council UK has released updates to paediatric and infant life-support guidance, and we want you to know that Mini First Aid is already on it. We’re rolling out team training and updating our lesson plans to make sure everything we teach reflects the very latest evidence.

If you’ve trained with us before or gained a workplace qualification with us, don’t worry, the qualification remains valid, and the skills you learned are still safe and effective. First aid evolves as new research emerges, and these updates simply offer techniques that may help rescuers deliver even better-quality care.

Here are some of the key changes:

Baby CPR: The preferred method for infants under 1 is now a two-thumb encircling technique. This can help you achieve consistent, effective chest compression depth with less finger fatigue. Other methods (one-hand or two-hand) can still be used if age-appropriate and needed.

Choking in infants: Still start with 5 back blows. If that doesn’t work, follow with 5 chest compressions using the encircling technique, which replaces the two-finger approach.

Using an AED:
• Use paediatric mode for infants and children under 25 kg (approx. under age 8 ).
• If there’s no paediatric setting, use adult mode, don’t delay.
• Pad placement guidance has been refined for clarity and effectiveness.

These improvements aim to make life-saving actions even more effective across all ages.

We’ll keep you updated as we roll out these updates in our classes, and we'll share demonstrations on the new techniques here on our socials as soon as we have these ready.

As always, our mission is to make sure you feel confident, informed, and ready to help when it matters most. 💚

Forget Secret Santa at work, this is the gift that lasts a lifetime! 💪💚

Would you like Mini First Aid to come to your workplace to empower and upskill your team with essential first aid skills?

Stand out from the crowd and show how much you value your employees and their wellbeing by providing this hands-on training for them so that they could then help a baby, child or loved one in an emergency. 🙌

But don’t take my word for it, check out what these colleagues at Daimler Buses UK had to say after their recent training session which was kindly arranged for them at their workplace. 😁

How to ensure your baby is safe in their car seat this winter👇🏻

🚗 Do not strap your child in while they are wearing a bulky coat or sleepsuit - the material of the coat and any air trapped in it will mean that the straps are not tight enough against the baby’s body to stop them being shifted around in an accident.

🚗 Do the “pinch test” - pull the harness straps to a snug tightness which means if you try to pinch the harness horizontally you cannot pinch the material together.

🚗 Make sure the car seat harness straps are not twisted, this may distribute the weight incorrectly and cause injury.

🚗 If your child is in a rear-facing car seat, the harness straps should be in the slots at or below your child’s shoulders.

🚗 If your child is in a forward-facing car seat, the harness straps should be in the slots at or above your child’s shoulders.

For lots more advice about the law around car seats and what type of seat is right for your child’s age/weight, please take a listen to episode 24 ofthe Family Health Podcast episode in which we chat with an expert from Graco UK about car seat safety 🎧 We’ll link to this in the comments.

We’d also highly recommend heading along to The Baby Barn Pram & Nursery Centre in Marton (between Rugby and Leamington) for all your car seat needs! We run our classes at this lovely venue and know the staff well, and they are experts in this area, and very passionate about all things baby related! 👌
