Can you bring your baby to our Baby & Child First Aid classes?

Yes, absolutely!

Pre-crawling babies are very welcome to come along. If you need to feed, change or comfort your baby during the session, that is completely fine.

Once little ones are crawling or on the move, classes can become less suitable. We want you to feel relaxed, able to take in the information and join in with the practical activities without worrying about where your baby has wandered.

All our venues are chosen to have free onsite, or nearby, parking and are fully accessible with changing facilities. If you want to bring the buggy, let them lounge on a mat, wear them it’s up to you. Feel free to walk around, use white noise or even come alone for a few hours of precious you time, whatever suits you best!

You don’t even have to leave the house, all@our classes can be done in your home or venue for the same per person cost (subject to a 5 person minimum) and after than it gets cheaper anyway! Baby and child first aid classes start at £27.50 and are booked via our website.

Feel free to DM if you need more information.

Symptoms of anaphylaxis usually happen rapidly and can be life-threatening. Anaphylaxis happens when your or your child’s body has a serious reaction to something you or they are allergic to.

Any one or more of the following symptoms may be present – these are often referred to as the ABC symptoms.*

💚 Airway - swelling in the throat, tongue or upper airways, hoarse voice, difficulty swallowing

💚 Breathing - sudden onset wheezing, breathing difficulty, noisy breathing, persistent cough

💚 Circulation - dizziness, feeling faint, sudden sleepiness, confusion, pale clammy skin, loss of consciousness or collapse

Any of the ABC symptoms may lead to collapse and unconsciousness and, on rare occasions, can be fatal.

In extreme cases there could be a dramatic fall in blood pressure. The person may become weak and floppy and may have a sense of something terrible happening.

If you want to know more, take a few minutes to check out all of the resources and advice at particularly if your child suffers from severe allergies or if they have a friend or classmate who does.

And if you work with children or young people, take a look at our Workplace first aid courses, including our two-hour auto-injector workshop if you would like to learn more about dealing with severe allergic reactions and anapahylaxis.

On the top of your baby's head, near the front, is a diamond-shaped patch where the skull bones have not fused together yet. There is another, smaller, soft spot towards the back of their head. These are called the fontanelles.

It will probably be a year or more before the bones close over. Do not worry about the fontanelles as they are covered by a tough protective membrane.

If little ones are dehydrated, which is a worry especially as we're in the middle of a heatwave, their fontanelle can often appear sunken.
Tip: Although most babies soft spots are flush to the skin, make sure to check how your baby's soft spot lays when they're healthy without any issues, so you know what you're comparing it to.
In addition, a bulging fontanelle can also be a sign of something serious - in both cases, seek immediate medical advice.

💜 World Mental Health Day 💚

This baby loss awareness week we want to take a moment to remind everyone that your mental health matters too. Grief can feel heavy, and it’s okay to need support, you don’t have to carry it alone.

These are just some of the organisations and services that can offer help, guidance, and someone to talk to. Whether you need a listening ear, practical advice, or just reassurance that you’re not alone — support is out there.

Please reach out if you need to. Taking care of your mental health is an act of love, for yourself, and for those who care about you. 💚

🧠💚 Today is World Mental Health Day 💚🧠
At Mini First Aid Tees Valley, we believe first aid isn’t just about bandages and CPR—it’s about caring for the whole person. Mental health matters just as much as physical health, and knowing how to support someone in crisis can be life-changing.

Whether it’s recognising signs of anxiety, offering calm reassurance, or knowing when to seek help—mental health first aid saves lives too.

Let’s keep talking, keep learning, and keep showing up for each other.

Did you know that our First Aid Classes are available for children from as young as 3 years old!

Our Early Years (ages 3-6) Kids (7-11) and Teens classes (11-16) have won awards and provide children with the basic first aid knowledge required for a first aid emergency. The classes meet the new 2020 UK National Curriculum Requirements.

And it doesn't stop at physical health - with mental health on the National Curriculum for Primary and Secondary schools, our new Healthy Minds programme teaches children aged 7-11 about how to stay healthy mentally as well as physically.

DM to enquire about classes to take place in schools, clubs or privately arranged venues.
