If your child is in primary school, nursery or pre-school, you will likely have had a “head bump form” in their schoolbag at some point!

Head bumps can be very serious in little ones, and it is really important to know the signs of a concussion.

Watching a video tutorial or 30-second reel demonstrating how to perform chest thrusts on a choking baby is not going to give you the same learning experience as watching and practising the technique in person.

When you take an in-person first aid class with Mini First Aid, you'll see our expert trainers demonstrate the techniques in front of you on life-sized baby and child mannequins.

You'll get hands-on with the mannequins yourself, experiencing exactly where to position your hands and fingers, feel how deeply to properly compress during CPR and get immediate feedback on how you are managing, helping you make adjustments and get it right.

You'll have time with our expert trainer to ask questions and practise until the techniques become second nature.

And you don't get that from a minute-long video or TV programme! 😉

Come and learn with us, it's two hours of your time and costs from just £30 per person to really learn vital first aid techniques that could just save your child's life.

Confirmed case numbers of measles in the UK have stabilised in the last 12-months, but there has undoubtedly been a resurgence of measles in England and around the world in recent years.

After reaching the highest number of cases recorded annually for over a decade in 2024, numbers stabilised in 2025 at around 950 recorded cases. Most of the cases in England have been in children under the age of 10 years with many outbreaks linked to nurseries and schools.

There’s no specific medical treatment for measles, so it’s important to get vaccinated as it’s the best protection against becoming seriously unwell. Swipe through for a reminder about what measles is and how to prevent or deal with an infection.

Please speak to your GP if you have concerns about vaccinations 💚

RSV infections are very common. Almost all children get them at least once before they’re 2 years old.

They’re not usually serious, but babies under 6 months old have a higher risk of getting seriously ill as do young children who were born prematurely and babies and children with a weakened immune system, or long-term lung or heart conditions.

In babies, RSV is a common cause of bronchiolitis, a chest infection that can cause breathing problems and may need to be treated in hospital.

Symptoms of an RSV infection usually start within a few days of getting infected.

Most people only get cold-like symptoms, such as:

- runny or blocked nose
- cough
- sneezing
- tiredness
- high temperature

Babies with RSV may also be irritable and feed less than usual.

If RSV leads to a more serious infection, such as bronchiolitis, it may also cause:

- a cough that gets worse
- shortness of breath
- faster breathing or long gaps between breaths
- difficulty feeding (in babies) or loss of appetite
- noisy breathing (wheezing)

Does it feel like your child grows out of their shoes almost as soon as they are in them? Until the age of three, your child’s foot will grow around 2mm a month, that’s two sizes per year on average in the first 3-4 years of life.

So it’s pretty important that you measure your child’s feet regularly in those early years, organisations like Clarks recommend every 6-8 weeks until they are around 4 years of age.

Take a look at our guide to measuring and checking at home, this was created from the resources found on the website - check this out for lots more brilliant information and measuring advice.
