🌧 Weather Update – Saturday’s Courses 🌧

Please bear with us as we navigate the current storm and weather warnings alongside everyone else.

Your safety is always our top priority. Due to the weather warning, our school booking scheduled for tomorrow has already been postponed.

We are currently trying to contact the venue for Saturday to confirm that they will be open for our two sold-out NHS classes. Our Workplace First Aid course in Shropshire is still planned to go ahead as scheduled.

At this stage, we feel that both Saturday courses will be able to go ahead, however we are awaiting final confirmation from the venue and will continue to monitor the weather closely.

As soon as we have more information, we will update all booked attendees.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding 🤍

🚨 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.

📍 In-person classes for parents, carers, grandparents & professionals across the UK.

🎄 That’s a wrap for 2025! 🎄

As we pause our classes for the festive break, we just want to say thank you to every parent, grandparent, carer, school, nursery and workplace who has supported us this year.

We’ll be back in 2026, refreshed and ready to continue empowering you with lifesaving first aid skills 💚

Until then, we wish all our followers a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year.

See you in 2026 ✨

🎄 Thinking about water beads as a Christmas present? 🎄

Water beads can look like a lovely sensory toy - when soaked in water they grow into colourful, squishy balls that feel nice to play with.

But it’s important to know the risks.

When dry, water beads are tiny and very easy for young children (or pets) to swallow. If swallowed, they can continue to absorb fluids inside the body and expand, which can cause a blockage in the digestive system. In some cases, this may require surgery to remove.

There is also a choking risk if beads are put in the mouth.

The Office for Product Safety and Standards advises that water beads should be kept away from children under 5 and only used with older children under close adult supervision.

If you already have water beads at home, please store them safely out of reach. If you’re considering them as a gift, it’s worth thinking carefully about the age of the child.

For more information, visit the Child Accident Prevention Trust.

The product is therefore unsuitable for and should be avoided by anyone with an allergy or intolerance to egg.
