At FTW First Aid, we understand the critical role that nursery staff play in keeping children safe. Based in Wrexham, we’re proud to offer specialised first aid training tailored for nurseries, ensuring your team is equipped to handle emergencies involving infants and children. Our Qualsafe-accredited courses are designed to meet the unique needs of nursery environments, with a strong focus on Paediatric First Aid to comply with Ofsted and Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) standards. Whether you run a small nursery or manage multiple nurserys across Wrexham, our training solutions bring confidence, preparedness, and regulatory compliance to your doorstep.

Why Nursery Staff Need First Aid Training

Working in a nursery means being ready for anything— scraped knees, choking incidents, or more serious emergencies. Nurseries in Wrexham trust FTW First Aid to provide their staff with the skills to respond effectively, ensuring the safety and well-being of every child in their care. Our Paediatric First Aid courses are the cornerstone of our offerings for nursery settings, but we also provide a range of other training options to suit diverse workplace needs.

Our Paediatric First Aid Training for Nurseries

Qualsafe Accredited Paediatric First Aid (PFA) – Level 3 Award

Our flagship Paediatric First Aid (PFA) course is a comprehensive two-day program designed specifically for nursery staff, childcare providers, and anyone responsible for infants and children. This course meets Ofsted and EYFS requirements, making it a must for nurserys aiming to maintain full compliance.

  • What You’ll Learn:
    • Role of the Paediatric First Aider and legal responsibilities.
    • Assessing emergencies and conducting primary surveys for infants and children.
    • CPR and AED use tailored to young age groups.
    • Managing unresponsive children, including the recovery position.
    • Treating wounds, bleeding, burns, scalds, fractures, and dislocations.
    • Handling choking incidents—a common nursery concern.
    • Managing shock and minor injuries like bumps and bruises.
  • Who Should Attend?: Nursery staff, teachers, childminders, and parents in Wrexham seeking in-depth training. No prior experience is required.
  • Certification: Earn a Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF), valid for three years, ensuring your nursery meets regulatory standards.
  • Why It Matters: With hands-on practice and expert guidance, your team will be ready to act swiftly in any paediatric emergency.

Emergency Paediatric First Aid (EPFA) – One Day Course

For nurseries needing a shorter option, our Emergency Paediatric First Aid (EPFA) course provides essential skills in just one day. While it supplements paediatric first aid provision, it does not meet Ofsted’s full certificate requirement—perfect as a top-up for additional staff.

  • What You’ll Learn:
    • CPR and AED use for children and infants.
    • Managing unconscious casualties and treating wounds, burns, and fractures.
    • Shock management and minor injury care.
  • Who Should Attend?: Nursery assistants or support staff in low-risk settings.
  • Certification: Qualsafe-accredited certificate, valid for three years.

Additional First Aid Courses for Nursery Teams

While Paediatric First Aid is our focus for nurserys, we offer a full suite of training to enhance safety across your Wrexham nursery or organisation:

  • Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) – One Day Course: Ideal for nursery admin staff or those in low-risk roles, this course covers adult-focused emergencies like CPR, AED use, and wound management. Qualsafe-accredited certificate valid for three years.
  • First Aid at Work (FAW) – Three Day Course: A comprehensive option for designated first aiders, covering burns, fractures, and more for adult casualties. Perfect for nursery managers or multi-role staff. Qualsafe-accredited, valid for three years.
