What a fantastic Saturday session with the wonderful team at Little Stars Stirling! 👏

From the moment we started, it was clear how quick the team were to learn and confidently deliver first aid techniques, with plenty of hands-on practical application throughout the day. Having already completed their 6-hour online learning through Hubba Training, they came equipped with strong theoretical knowledge—ready to bring it to life in today’s reflective and practical session.

Through reflective practice, critical thinking, and experiential learning, the team strengthened their skills and supported the cognitive development needed to confidently refresh and apply their practice.

And what a beautiful setting to do it in! You can truly feel the care, compassion, and genuine love this team has for the families they support every day. 💛

A pleasure to work with such a dedicated group—well done all!

All delivered at no cost to Little Stars Stirling, in partnership with ATS Childcare care find out how your setting can qualify.

Working in early years, delivering first aid isn’t just about training adults, it’s about empowering children too.

Every day we work with children, we take time to reflect, talk, and gently teach them how to recognise when something isn’t right and how to seek help if they ever need to.

Because education isn’t just knowledge, it’s confidence, awareness, and the ability to act when it matters most.

Knowing what to do, when to do it, and who to call can make all the difference.

Today we were fortunate to deliver our Emergency Paediatric First Aid training with the fantastic team at Thrive’s Corner House Gillsland Nursery 🙌

It was a pleasure working with such a talented and dedicated group who are deeply committed to early years education and the pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning through first aid—with children, families, and staff.

The team brought a highly reflective mindset to the day, engaging in meaningful discussions and continuously connecting theory to practice. This critical, thoughtful approach carried right through our practical sessions, creating a powerful and engaging learning environment.

A brilliant day of learning, collaboration, and professional development 👏

We’re incredibly grateful to all of our students who have engaged so passionately with us, your energy and commitment make what we do so rewarding.

A huge thank you as well to those who gave the “new kids on the block” the opportunity to deliver first aid alongside your fantastic teams. Your trust and support have meant everything to us.

Today’s Emergency Paediatric First Aid session with the fantastic team at Thrive’s Teviot House Nursery was a powerful reminder of what true dedication to early years care looks like.

The team showed incredible commitment to expanding their knowledge and deepening their understanding of first aid, asking thoughtful questions, sharing real experiences, and fully engaging in every scenario. It’s this level of enthusiasm that helps create safer environments for children to learn and grow.

We also took time to reflect on the current Care Inspectorate Duty of Candour approach, recognising the importance of openness, honesty, and learning when things don’t go as planned. These conversations are vital in building a culture of trust and continuous improvement.

A key theme throughout the session was understanding how not to become risk-averse, but instead to focus on safe, confident practice. In early years settings, it’s not about avoiding all risk, it’s about managing it effectively while still allowing children the freedom to explore, develop, and thrive.

A huge well done to the whole team today, your dedication makes a real difference.

Another fantastic collaboration in action.

We had the pleasure of working alongside ATS Childcare and Hubba Training to deliver a Paediatric (Blended) First Aid course for the incredible team at Currie Children’s Nursery — and even better… it was completely free!

From start to finish, the energy in the room was outstanding. The team brought real passion, openness, and professionalism, diving into discussions, reflecting on current practices, and fully engaging in every part of the training. Days like this remind us why we do what we do.

It flew by because every single candidate gave it their all.

A genuinely brilliant nursery to work with, and we’re already looking forward to supporting more of their dedicated early years staff when the time comes for their next training.

Another fantastic collaboration with ATS Childcare and Hubba Online Training today, delivering Paediatric First Aid training to the wonderful staff team at Kidstore Nursery Kilsyth.

The team fully embraced Day 2 of the course, putting into practice the knowledge and understanding they gained during Day 1’s theory-based session. From practical scenarios to hands-on skills, everyone gave it their all.

It was great to see such enthusiastic participation, with in-depth discussions around early years education and the importance of paediatric first aid. The commitment shown by the team to keeping children safe is truly inspiring.

Well done to everyone involved. A brilliant group to work with!

Today’s Paediatric First Aid course was delivered at Heron House Crookston Nursery in partnership with ATS Childcare – Scotland’s leading and most dynamic provider of Early Years Modern Apprenticeships – alongside Scotland’s fastest growing online early years training platform, Hubba Training.

This approach ensures that everyone in the setting is confident, capable, and ready to respond when children need them most.

It’s fantastic to see settings investing in whole-team development, strengthening both child safety and professional practice across their nursery.

Great learning and engagement today at Thrive’s Happitots Inverkip!

Staff from Thrive’s Happitots Inverkip and Glasgow Airport welcomed Steven White Training into their Inverkip setting for today’s Emergency Paediatric First Aid (EPFA) face-to-face course.

The team showed fantastic enthusiasm throughout the session, demonstrating professionalism while critically reflecting on current practice and working through a range of real-life early years first aid scenarios. Together we explored practical solutions and discussed how best to respond when children need immediate care.

It was inspiring to see such strong engagement and thoughtful discussion around how to better support the children and families in their care every day.

A big thank you to the team for their participation, openness, and commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety in early years education.
