Childminder First Aid Courses in Manchester
Full Paediatric First Aid for Manchester childminders.
Childminders need current full Paediatric First Aid for early years registration and day-to-day First Aid cover.
In Manchester, you can book a place on a public course or arrange private training.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets the requirement; Ofsted does not approve individual courses. The full qualification covers wider baby and child injuries and illnesses than Emergency Paediatric First Aid.
Registration and Day-to-Day Cover
The September 2026 childminder framework requires Paediatric First Aid (PFA) for registration and continuing registration. It specifies current full PFA cover when children are present and on outings.
Consider assistants, absences and how quickly the trained person can respond. The childminder framework has its own requirements, separate from the group-setting staff-ratio rules.
What Will I Practise?
You learn baby and child CPR, how to help someone who is choking, and how to use an EpiPen. You get hands-on practice with CPR manikins, defibrillators, choking jackets, EpiPen trainers and more.
Full Paediatric First Aid also covers injuries and illnesses such as fractures, head injuries, asthma, poisoning and serious childhood illness. You have time to practise and ask questions about the children you care for.
How Does the Full Course Fit Around Work?
Our full Paediatric course has one practical training day plus six hours online: twelve hours in total. Renew your certificate every three years.
Join a public course or arrange private training at your setting. An optional Ofqual-regulated certificate is available for a small additional cost if your employer or registration body asks for it.
