In our setting staff are able to take action to apply first aid treatment in the event of an accident involving a child or adult.  At least one member of staff with current first aid training is on the premises or on an outing at any one time.  The first aid qualification includes first aid training for infants and young adults.

We have three named First Aiders; Niki Howard,  Katie Busson, Jessica Baker

Any newly qualified staff that join us will have First Aid training within the first three months of starting.

Our first aid kit complies with the Health and Safety (first aid) Regulations 1981

In addition, it now contains PPE equipment for the staff. (aprons, face mask, gloves) Sept 2020
