Mini First Aid Mid Kent

26/02/2026

Mini First Aid Mid Kent works with many charities across Kent, delivering our baby and child first aid class at our special charity rate, making it even more accessible. ✅

This week we had the pleasure of working with Action Medway Universal Parenting Programme again and what a lovely bunch of families :)

The attendees ranged from expectant parents working in early years but wanting a refresh (did you know the guidance from The Resus Council on CPR and choking changed at the end of last year?!), to new parents about to embark on their weaning journey.

I always reference SR Nutrition in my classes who has written a brilliant book if you are particularly anxious about weaning - you are not alone!

There is also the amazing Solid Starts app ✅

"This was a brilliant first aid class. I felt so much more confident afterwards in my ability to give first aid to children. I’m a mum to a toddler and also now working in a job around children, so I wanted to make sure that I knew what to do in an emergency. Sarah was fantastic at explaining things clearly and answering all questions. I really enjoyed being able to practice on the dummies as it gave me the much needed awareness of just how much effort is needed for CPR. Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone! Thank you! 🙏🏻"

YES to realism and breaking taboos to save women's lives! 👏

For women, CPR can look a little bit different due to our anatomy.

Because of this, St John reported that a third of people are afraid to give CPR to a woman because they are worried about touching breasts.

According to CUH Resuscitation Services, which implemented these breast overlays to their manikins, adult defibrillator pad placement is the same for all patients.

However in some cases, breast tissue may need to be moved gently so pads can be placed directly on the chest wall.

This inclusive, realistic training equipment helps reduce uncertainty when someone needs help and instead gives anyone the confidence to give CPR correctly! ❤️

Stair gate ✅
Cupboard locks ✅
High-chair straps ✅
Purse.....😬

You might think you have it covered when it comes to babyproofing your home.

It's common sense, right?

You install the baby gate, you make sure your high chair has the right straps, you fit locks on the cupboard doors...but what about the coins in your purse or wallet?

What about the paracetamol you leave in your handbag or bedside drawer?

What about that TV remote control with the easy-open battery compartment?

There are so many everyday objects and items in our house that could pose a risk to our baby or toddler - a risk of choking, poisoning, burning, cutting, or falling.

Accidents will happen, and we can't always prevent them, but we can be as careful as we possibly can when it comes to everyday items in our household that our curious toddler or explorative baby might get hold of.

Take a look around your home today.

Are the tall bookcases and cupboards fixed to the walls, are your hair straighteners out of reach, is your handbag or purse somewhere that your child could easily reach?

You don't know what you don't know when it comes to baby and child safety.

Take a look at our babyproofing safety classes and check out our Mini First Aid baby & child first aid classes so that you can firstly prevent an accident happen, and secondly, know how to treat it if it does!

If your child is in primary school, nursery or pre-school, you will likely receive a ‘head bump form’ in their schoolbag at some point 🤦‍♀️

Head bumps can be very serious in little ones, so it is really important to know the signs of a concussion.

We cover this topic in our baby and child first aid classes 👌🏻

Check out the slides here for everything you need to know about children's head bumps.
