🛑 Before they bounce… let’s talk trampoline safety.

Trampolines can be brilliant for burning off energy, building coordination, and keeping kids active – but they’re also one of the top causes of childhood injury, especially in the summer. Sprains, bumps, head knocks, even broken bones… we see them all.

At Mini First Aid, we’re not about bubble-wrapping kids (because let’s be honest, they’ll always find a way to test limits!) – but we are about giving you the know-how to prevent accidents where possible and deal with them calmly if they do happen.

✅ One jumper at a time
✅ Safety net zipped up
✅ No flips unless properly trained
✅ Always supervise – even “big kids”

And if an accident does happen? Our classes will give you the skills to spot when it’s just a bump that needs a cuddle – and when it’s time to get professional help.

Because happy bouncing is great… panicked dashing to A&E? Not so much.

It’s that time of year where we’re juggling a million things at once. School plays, last-minute work deadlines, endless food shopping lists, travel plans, family visits, the big tidy-up, remembering batteries, wrapping paper, and something for that person who “doesn’t need anything.”

In all the chaos, can I gently nudge something up your priority list?
Your winter first aid + home medicine stash.

Because once shops close or you’re iced-in, everyone’s tired, emotions are high, routines are totally out the window and people are up later than usual… that’s exactly when bumps, tummy bugs, mystery fevers, cuts, slips, sniffles and sudden “I don’t feel well” moments seem to appear.

Being stocked up doesn’t make you paranoid, it makes the next few weeks calmer.
It means you have what you need in the moment, without having to hunt for a 24-hour chemist in slippers and pyjamas or wait for the delivery slot that’s somehow two days away.

Here are a few things worth checking:
✔ Plasters in multiple sizes
✔ Sterile wipes and wound wash
✔ Kids and adult pain relief (within date)
✔ Digital thermometer
✔ Rehydration sachets
✔ Antihistamines
✔ Ice packs
✔ Tweezers and small scissors
✔ Any regular prescriptions topped up
✔ Calpol and Nurofen alternatives if shelves have gone empty

And if you’re travelling, visiting family or staying somewhere new – pop a mini first aid pouch in your bag!

🛝 Trampolines, climbing frames, garden slides – love them or loathe them, they’re magnets for summer fun and for injuries.

I’m not saying wrap your kids in bubble wrap (though, tempting on some days). But a few simple checks can save a whole lot of drama:
✔️ Only one child on the trampoline at a time
✔️ Nets zipped shut
✔️ Soft landings around play areas (hello grass, goodbye concrete)
✔️ Keep equipment age-appropriate

Jo and I have heard it all – from sprained wrists to concussion. First aid helps you respond well if something happens, but prevention always comes first.

Our classes cover loads of real-life stuff like this – the kind you don’t think about until someone’s crying with a bleeding knee and you’ve got no plasters in your bag.

We’ve got you. Come learn with us.

Book Your Workplace Training Before Christmas!

If you manage a team, school, nursery, after-school club, café, gym or community setting, now’s the perfect time to get first aid training booked in before the January rush.

Me or Jo can come to you, deliver accredited training, and ensure your organisation meets safety requirements with confidence.

It’s officially that time where everyone is sharing bugs faster than they share snacks. From sniffles and temperature spikes to “my tummy hurts”… winter illnesses can hit quickly.
Knowing when you can treat at home, what to watch for, and when to get help makes those moments so much less scary.

If you’d like to feel confident responding calmly and safely, we teach Baby + Child First Aid classes across North Nottinghamshire (see slide 2 for our franchise area map!)

Now booking for 2026.

Whether it’s grazed knees from garden adventures, a bumped head at the playground, or a wasp sting at the picnic, knowing what to do can be the difference between freezing in fear and calmly stepping in to help.

That’s what our Mini First Aid classes are all about – giving you the confidence, skills, and real-life know-how to handle life’s little (and not-so-little) emergencies without spiralling into panic mode.

We keep things simple, practical, and totally relevant for everyday family life. No scary jargon, no judgement – just useful techniques you can actually remember in the moment.
Plus, there’s something powerful about learning alongside other parents and caregivers in your community. You’ll leave with more than just first aid skills – you’ll have a local network of people who “get it” and are ready to look out for each other.

Because family time should be about having fun, ice creams, and memories – not worry.
💚 Join our next class and give yourself the gift of calm preparedness.

We spend so much time trying to find the perfect present for new parents. Another soft toy, another cute outfit, another keepsake that looks lovely but gets tucked away after a week. And gifts like that are absolutely lovely… but what if we offered them something that doesn’t just look nice, but genuinely matters?

Imagine gifting a new parent the knowledge, confidence and calm to act if something ever felt scary with their baby. Knowing what to do in those first few minutes before help arrives can make all the difference, and it’s the kind of gift that stays with them far longer than anything wrapped in pretty paper.

A Baby and Child First Aid class gives parents skills they’ll carry forever.
Skills that support everyday confidence.

Skills that help them stay grounded instead of panicked.

Skills that parents always say they wish they’d learned sooner.

If you’re looking for a more meaningful gift this Christmas or for an upcoming baby shower, birthday, maternity gift, or even just a thoughtful surprise… a Mini First Aid gift class is a beautiful way to show you care.

It’s the kind of present that says:
“I want you to feel safe, supported and confident. You’ve got this.”

Buying an experience that could help someone save a life is one of the most thoughtful things you can give.

I know I’m not the only one who’s looked around at a kids’ party and thought, “Why did I invite this many children into my house?”

The noise. The snacks. The sugar highs. The injuries waiting to happen 🙃

But those worries start to melt away when you feel confident you’d know what to do if Jacob suddenly choked on a Wotsit… or Lottie legged it straight into your glass patio door.

Because it’s not about removing the chaos (good luck with that) — it’s about knowing you’ve got the skills to handle it.

That’s what our Mini First Aid classes are all about. Simple, practical know-how that gives you peace of mind — whether you're hosting a party, on the school run, or just at home with a biscuit tin and a toddler tornado.

Come and learn what every parent wishes they knew before they needed it. I promise you won’t regret it.

We offer baby first aid classes to help you feel more confident and capable of handling emergencies. We love receiving feedback like this, from Freddie…

“I recently attended a Baby First Aid class, and I couldn’t be more impressed! The session was incredibly informative, providing essential knowledge on how to handle emergencies with babies and young children. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it easy to feel comfortable and engaged throughout. The class was well-organized, with clear explanations and hands-on demonstrations, ensuring that everyone left with a solid understanding of what to do in critical situations.

The instructor was outstanding - knowledgeable, approachable, and very thorough in answering any questions. I truly feel more confident now when it comes to caring for our baby in emergency situations.

I highly recommend this class to anyone with children, babies, or anyone who cares for them. It's an invaluable skill set for peace of mind, and I feel much more prepared after attending.”
