Our bookable session dates in Harrogate are super accessible - train, bus, or car, we've got you covered! 🚂🚌🚘

Our training is less than 5 minutes from the bus stop with regular routes between Leeds, Harrogate, Ripon, Otley and Ilkley.

☆ Different ages worked with, different roles and duties, one shared goal: knowing what to do when it really matters ☆

Today I taught a large mixed group in Leeds alongside another fantastic trainer for a company, with learners completing Paediatric First Aid (PFA) and Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) — childcare staff, teachers, tutors, martial arts instructors, agency and community workers

The engagement was fantastic — thoughtful questions, practical skills taken seriously, and a genuine commitment to building confidence rather than just “passing a course”. This is how first aid learning really sticks.

This is exactly what Learn with STAR is about: clear, practical training that works in real settings — from classrooms and clubs to studios and community spaces. Well done to everyone who trained today. Your effort makes a real difference ⭐️SuperSTARs

☆ Childcare Manager New Year Checklist SAVE FOR LATER ☆

A new year is a great time to step back and check your first aid provision is truly up to standard — not just compliant, but confident.

Strong first aid in childcare means:
✔️ the right staff trained
✔️ training that meets EYFS and current guidance
✔️ equipment, policies and plans that reflect real risks, real children and real teams

If this checklist has sparked questions or highlighted changes, that’s a positive sign of good leadership. Reflective practice is an ongoing process

☆ CPR & Defib Awareness for your group ☆

Would you know what to do if someone collapsed in front of you?

According to Resuscitation Council UK, early CPR combined with the use of a defibrillator can increase survival rates to over 70% when used within the first few minutes of a cardiac arrest.
Without early action, survival drops rapidly with every minute that passes.

That’s why CPR & defib awareness matters.

STAR CPR & Defib Awareness classes focus on:
✔️ Understanding what cardiac arrest is (and how it’s different from a heart attack)
✔️ Learning how CPR works
✔️ Seeing how simple, safe and voice-guided AEDs are to use
✔️ Building confidence to act while emergency services are on the way
✔️ Knowing where defibs are located in your workplace or community

These sessions are ideal for:
• Schools & education settings
• Community groups & clubs
• Workplaces & teams
• Sports coaches & volunteers
• Families and local networks

Sessions are practical, supportive and tailored — perfect for awareness days, staff training, community events or wellbeing initiatives.

💚 Defibrillators don’t restart hearts — people do, with confidence and action.

📩 Get in touch to book a CPR & Defib Awareness session or to bring lifesaving knowledge to your team or community.

☆ First Aid That Fits Around You ☆

If you’re a nanny, childminder, or home educator you know that finding time for training isn’t always easy — especially when you’re working solo or caring for children in a home setting.

That’s why Learn with STAR offers flexible options designed to work around real life:
• Small group sessions in homes or local venues
• Friendly, practical training in a relaxed environment
• Courses suitable for nannies, childminders, parents and carers
• Options to train alongside friends or professional networks

Whether you work independently, as part of a nanny share, or support children across different settings, first aid confidence matters — and learning in a smaller, familiar space can make all the difference.

We’re proud to have so many recommendations within home based networks, and we love being able to support communities who look after children every day. Having insider knowledge of the industry makes us special, as we really get the role of home-based professionals and tailors the learning to you

If you’ve ever thought:
“Could we do this together?”
or
“Home-based training would be easier…”

— then this might be the perfect fit.

Message to chat through options, dates, or to explore setting something up with your network.

Learn first aid. Build confidence. Support each other. ⭐️

☆ Happy New Year from Learn with STAR ☆

A wintery walk, a bit of fresh air, and the perfect moment to blow the cobwebs away. To pause to reflect on the first day of the new year, amongst gorgeous views of Yorkshire countryside

As we step into a new year, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported Learn with STAR last year — the families, nurseries, schools, clubs, professionals and community groups who trained with me, asked questions, shared posts, and cared about keeping others safe. Total superSTARs ✨

Every course, conversation and connection helped build confidence, skills and a safer community — and I’m so grateful to be part of that.

2026 is already shaping up to be a busy one — more courses, more families, more confidence, and more opportunities to learn together and make our communities safer 🏡🏘️💕

Here’s to fresh air, fresh starts, and another year of finding more superSTARs ⭐️ Wishing you a happy, healthy and hopeful New Year 💫 2026 is here 🎉
