I had so much fun teaching First Aid to the Brownies yesterday! ✨
They were full of brilliant questions, bundles of energy and completely smashed the recovery position and basic first aid skills. 🌟

It’s always such a joy seeing young people grow in confidence and knowing they’re learning skills that could one day make a real difference. 💪💙

Thanks for having me, girls – you were amazing and well done achieving your first aid badge! 🩹😊

Claire delivered a really interesting and informative workshop for my brownie pack. They thoroughly enjoyed the session.

❓Could you spot the symptoms of diabetes in your child?

If type 1 diabetes is left undiagnosed, it can get really serious, really quickly. But knowing the signs can avoid a medical emergency and save lives.

Knowing the 4Ts can help you spot the four most common signs of type 1 diabetes in both adults and children, and they’re really easy to remember:

🔸Toilet – Going for a wee more often.

🔸Thirsty – Non-stop thirst and drinking more than usual.

🔸Tired – Feeling more tired and having less energy than usual.

🔸Thinner – Unexplained weight loss.

If you are concerned about your child please take them to see a GP as soon as possible.

On this Remembrance Day, we honour the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we, and our children, could grow up in peace.

History reminds us that we must learn, remember, and teach our little ones the values of empathy, understanding, and acceptance.

Peace isn’t promised; it’s protected every day by how we choose to live and love.
Remembrance is how we honour those who made it possible and learning from the past is how we ensure history never repeats itself.

‼️Did you spot the danger?

The answer: this little one is wearing a thick, puffy coat in their car seat.

It might seem harmless but bulky coats can make car seats far less effective in a crash. That extra padding means the harness isn’t snug against your child’s body, even if it looks tight.

Here’s a quick way to check if a coat is too bulky:

🔸Step 1: Buckle your child into their car seat with their coat on and tighten the straps.
🔸Step 2: Without loosening the straps, take your child out, remove the coat, then buckle them back in.

If you can pinch the strap between your fingers, the coat is too thick to be worn safely.

Instead:
Pop a blanket over them once they’re strapped in
Or use a car seat-safe cover to keep them cosy and protected

Please TAG a parent and SHARE to help spread this important safety tip. Let’s keep our little ones warm and safe this winter.

🎆 Sparkler Safety Tip!

Did you know sparklers can burn at up to 1,649°C? That’s hotter than some flames! They might look magical and be fun for little ones but they can cause very serious burns if not handled carefully.

Here’s a clever little hack for Bonfire Night

🥕 Instead of letting little hands hold the metal stick, pop the end of the sparkler into a carrot!

The carrot doesn’t conduct heat
It’s easier for small hands to grip
And it keeps the sparkler further from their face and body

Keep a bucket of water or sand nearby for used sparklers.

Always supervise closely - once it’s gone out, take it from them straight away.

Stay safe and have a sparkling Bonfire Night from all of us at Daisy First Aid! 🎇

Just when your baby was starting to sleep for longer periods… BAM! Night wakings, nap refusal and daytime fussiness takes over!

At around 4 months, your little one’s brain is growing fast! They’re learning new skills: hand-eye coordination, tracking objects, recognizing faces, reaching for toys, and even starting to babble. They may dribble more too (which doesn’t necessarily mean they are teething!).

Try to remember: This isn’t a setback - it’s a progression. Your baby needs comfort, reassurance, and lots of love right now. Take care of yourself too and rest when you can.

Hang in there. This challenging phase will pass, and your baby is learning so much every day!
