Mini First Aid Fife & Forth Valley

Motherhood can feel like a whirlwind of tiny moments, big emotions, and everything in between - and at Mini First Aid, we know that keeping families safe isn’t just about bumps, bruises and CPR. It’s about caring for parents too. This week, we’re honoured to share a powerful and heartfelt guest blog from Kayleigh Laverick, founder of Mamma Social Co. Kayleigh opens up about her experience of postnatal trauma, loneliness, and the unexpected path that led her to create a community supporting thousands of parents across the UK. Her story is raw, honest and full of hope - a reminder that connection can be life-changing, and that reaching out is its own kind of first aid. Grab a cup of tea, take a breath, and have a read. You are not alone.

This month, a chickenpox vaccination programme is rolling out, which aims to protect around half a million children each year

Eligible children will be offered a combined vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) - the clinical term for chickenpox - as part of the routine infant vaccination schedule.

According to Government research, chickenpox in childhood results in an estimated £24 million in parental lost income and productivity every year in the UK, so it's hoped that the vaccine will mean children miss fewer days in nursery and school, so parents will not need to take time off work to care for them.

Parents should look out for invitations from local NHS teams for scheduled vaccinations, with more info on nhsinform.scot/vaccinesforchildren

🚨 Most parents hope they’ll never need first aid…

But emergencies don’t come with warnings and when they happen, you might just be the first or only person there.

Taking a Mini First Aid class isn’t about fear. It’s about feeling prepared, calm, and confident just in case.

Here’s what you will gain 👇

You will learn how to stay calm under pressure, so your head doesn’t go blank when your child needs you.

You will feel confident stepping in quickly, knowing exactly what to do when every second counts.

You will start noticing risks you’d never thought about before, and learn simple ways to prevent accidents at home or in your setting.

You will understand the correct first response for common childhood injuries, which can help reduce pain, complications, and recovery time.

You will actually remember what you’ve learned, because our classes are fun, practical, and hands-on.

First aid skills don’t just sit in your head. They give you peace of mind every day.
