Did you know our friendly trainers will come to your home to deliver our 2 hour baby and child first aid class?
We know it can be tricky to get out the house with little ones in tow so why not put the kettle on, invite some friends or family over and let us come to you!
Learning at home with friends and family is a very relaxed way to learn first aid. Learning first aid doesn’t have to be scary. Home classes can be a lot of fun!

Is your baby ready to start solids?
The guidelines say you should start weaning at around 6 months but babies aren’t robots and don’t magically become ready overnight once they turn 6 months.
Swipe for the 3 physiological signs your baby is ready to start solids. And for 1 sign that you are ready!
1 – Have they lost their tongue thrust reflex?
When you put a spoon in baby’s mouth they don’t automatically push it out.
Babies are born with a tongue thrust reflex to keep them safe from choking. Losing this is one of the signs they’re ready for solids.
2 – Are they able to sit up?
Your baby can sit up with a nice straight back and be able to hold their head up.
They may topple over if they reach for something but can sit up without support in the highchair.
3 – Can they put food to their mouth accurately?
Baby can pick something up and put it to their mouth accurately every time they try.
4 – Have you and anyone caring for your baby done a Daisy First Aid class?
Learn the skills that could save your baby’s life and gain the confidence to know when you can leave them to it plus LOADS more in a fun and friendly first aid class either at home or in one of our local venues. Head to daisyfirstaid.com to find your lovely local trainer.

Impetigo is a skin infection that's very contagious but not usually serious. It often gets better in 7 to 10 days if you get treatment. Anyone can get it, but it's very common in young children.
Impetigo starts with red sores or blisters. They quickly burst and leave crusty, golden-brown patches.
These can:
- look a bit like cornflakes stuck to your skin
- get bigger
- spread to other parts of your body
- be itchy
- sometimes be painful
Impetigo can easily spread to other parts of your body or to other people until it stops being contagious.
It stops being contagious:
- 48 hours after you start using the medicine your GP prescribed
- when the patches dry out and crust over (if you do not get treatment)
You can do some things to help stop it spreading or getting worse while it's still contagious
Do:
- keep your child away from school
- keep sores, blisters and crusty patches clean and dry
- cover them with loose clothing or gauze bandages
- wash their hands frequently
- wash flannels, sheets and towels at a high temperature
- wash or wipe down toys with detergent and warm water
Do not:
- don’t let them touch or scratch sores, blisters or crusty patches – this also helps stop scarring
- don’t let them have close contact people with diabetes or a weakened immune system
- do not share their flannels, sheets or towels with anyone else
- do not let them play contact sports like football

We have received some lovely feedback from this weekends course. Thank you to all the students, we could not do it without your help, participation and experiences. 💞

"I am really grateful for the recent 12-hour Paediatric First Aid Training. I learned so much from both eLearning resources and in-person session. Many of the skillsd and knowledge were completely new to me. I really like the systematic way of facing and dealing with emergencies based on diverse topics and themes. I feel much more confident in responding to emergencies now, but hopefully not encountering them in the real life. I am certain that what I learned will be very helpful in my working settings, and of course, also with my own children in the future. Special thanks to Steve. His patience and careful explanations made the learning experience on Saturday truly valuable. Absolutely, it is a wonderful teamwork from both of you. "

January with a tiny baby can feel long, quiet and exhausting.
The days blur, the nights are broken and everything feels harder in the cold.
These little tips aren’t about “fixing” anything. They’re about making today feel a bit easier.
You don’t need routines.
You don’t need to be productive.
You don’t need to have it all worked out.
If you and your baby are fed, warm and safe, you’re doing exactly what you need to be doing.
Save this for a tough day, or send it to a new mum who might need a gentle reminder that she’s doing brilliantly.

Is it time for a first aid refresher?
The first aid guidelines, set by the Resus Council UK, are updated every 5 years to ensure the advice we’re giving and skills we’re teaching reflects the latest evidence.
The most recent update brings the biggest changes we’ve seen in 20 years in first aid and includes changes to infant choking and CPR techniques.
Whether you’ve done a Daisy First Aid class already or if you’re new to first aid now is the perfect time to book your class.
Head to daisyfirstaid.com to find your lovely local Daisy trainer and book your class today!
Learning these skills will give you the knowledge and confidence to act fast in an emergency.

This weekend saw the first of our 2026 classes running, a level 3 paediatric course.

It was great to get back to teaching, hopefully they will not need the skills, but at least they are ready for whatever comes their way.

If you need to renew your qualification or take it for the first time.

Do not hesitate to get in touch.
