Behind the scenes, over the past few months, we’ve been busy working on growing our business and we can’t wait to bring more classes to you very soon. We’ve added new venues for our Baby and Child first aid classes and have new schools to visit!

We have found the most wonderful trainer and after months of training, planning and preparation, Debbie will be teaching classes soon…watch this space.

This week, we also attended our second Growth Hub with the amazing Kate Ball , founder of Mini First Aid. Here we share ideas and we always come away feeling inspired! We are so grateful to be a part of the best team of people 💚

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.

Check out the slides here for everything you need to know about children’s head bumps 💚

Who do we work with?

In 2026 we are looking to work with new and expectant families that want to know what steps they can take to help their child if they are ill or injured, and who want to feel more confident weaning their baby.

We are looking to work with more schools, youth clubs and young carers to teach children to feel less scared in an emergency and to be able to help a friend or family member if they are hurt.

We are looking to support more school and nursery staff to feel calm and confident to deliver first aid at work and at home with their own family.

If this is you, we would love to hear from you! Contact us at amyandhelen@minifirstaid.co.uk

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 💚

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.

Head to our website to find your nearest class.💚
