As an Ambulance First Responder with EMAS, Emily has extensive practical first aid experience and knowledge, and she also works part time in community stroke rehab. Over the years, Emily has come face to face with many situations where prompt first aid action has been critical in helping members of the public, and has seen first hand that these skills can really make a difference. Emily feels passionate about helping as many people as possible to feel more confident and empowered by learning these invaluable and potentially lifesaving skills. As a mum to two young children, she also really enjoys teaching early years and kids classes, and is a firm believer that children should be taught first aid skills from a young age too.
Hi I'm Jade. I have been a children's nurse for 12 years looking after children with cancer. I love nursing, but I also love teaching and helping others feel confident looking after children, whether that be the parents I meet, or other health care professionals. Since having my daughter I've realised how important it is for people to be able to learn first aid and have access to these kind of classes. I'm very excited to be a part of Mini First Aid.
Hi, I’m Judith and am looking forward to spending my retirement as a trainer with Mini First Aid (as well as travelling the world!). I am passionate about everyone having the knowledge and confidence to manage common but potentially life-threatening situations, especially parents and families with young children. I have witnessed many difficult situations during my 37-year career as a Consultant Community Paediatrician and more recently as a Community First Responder (volunteer) with West Midlands Ambulance Service. I hope to share the excellent resources of Mini First Aid alongside my personal experiences, which also include my proudest achievement of my 2 adult sons who I’m pleased to say still speak to me and raid my fridge regularly!
It was brilliant to have Mini First Aid in school. The children had a great experience and I think they took a lot from the experience. The activities were brilliant and were aimed at the right level for the children in the class. Emily was very knowledgeable and was great when answering the questions that the children had.
Emily came to our home for a baby and child first aid course with my husband, our parents and myself. Emily was absolutely fantastic! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable and credible with her background, the way she delivers the course is easy to absorb and very chilled despite the raft of information in the course and the rather sensitive subject matter. Emily answered all of our questions expertly and the quality of the course including the kit she uses is first class. Emily was even very accommodating to my father who has had a stroke and is very disabled, and was willing to adapt the course to his needs when I enquired which I thought was fantastic. The first aid kits and other bits they sell are great additions at the end should you wish to buy them and overall we thought it was fantastic value for money and a critical life skill to have, especially with our little ones if the worst were to happen. Would highly recommend Emily and Mini First Aid to any parents, grandparents or care givers of babies and toddlers as a key course to take to feel fully clued up on what you need to do in an emergency.
I attended a course ran by Emily yesterday. The course was exceptionally helpful at updating my knowledge of baby first aid and CPR. A very hands on experience with the use of baby and child mannequins which I found to be beneficial at backing up the theory side of the mini course. Covered the main concern areas of first aid and CPR, including choking. Emily was friendly, helpful and was able to answer questions posed. Highly recommended and highlighted the importance of knowing these life skills if you have close links to children.
St Joseph’s School, Wetherby (Early Years class) Our Nursery class love to get involved in whole-school curriculum enrichment activities but First Aid for 3-4 year olds? Even for our well-seasoned teachers, this sounded like a tall order. How wrong we were! Our sessions with Claire were absolutely brilliant. Skillful teaching, great resources, clear messages and important safety information; empowering our children to feel like mini first aiders. With the help of Max the teddy, we learned simple first aid techniques for cuts, scrapes and head bumps; as well as learning how to make someone comfortable by lying them on their side if they are very poorly. We learned about how you may need to phone 999 in an emergency and that you need to know your address. The children absolutely loved The ‘Mini Adventures of Freddie’ story which brought everything together perfectly. Thank-you Claire. Never underestimate 3-4 year olds! They really can save lives!
The Mini First Aid class (filmed for ITVBe) was a fantastic class, both Arg and I found it a really good and informative session.
We are so glad we have done a Mini First Aid class. We enjoyed the class, found it really useful and feel so much more prepared in the build up to having our baby.
Holly, our trainer was an excellent facilitator. The session was informative and enjoyable, and the class size made it feel accessible and easy for everyone to get stuck in. Holly's first-hand experience in the field, coupled with being a parent made the information really palatable and relatable. She made sure to have inclusive material which was perfect for the multicultural group we were in. I'd highly recommend the class if you want to arm yourself with the confidence to respond to a child in an emergency situation.
Mini First Aid really are the best for all your first aid needs! I found the company online through researching baby first aid products and the reviews were so great that I had to buy and try, and I was so impressed! The first aid kits really are so extensive! I want to say a huge thank you to Angie from Mini First Aid for coming to our home to teach my family and I baby first aid! I had some basic knowledge but it didn’t compare to the hands on approach in our class where we got to practice techniques. Angie was incredible and so patient with us, and the lesson was invaluable to us as new parents!
It was a pleasure meeting Kate and Jacky from Mini First Aid and being taught what to do in case of an emergency. Learning CPR and what to do when a child is choking is invaluable. Obviously, I hope I never had to use the things I learned in today’s class, but horrible things happen and knowing these techniques can really make a huge difference. The class was fun and accessible given the seriousness of the topic. I would highly recommend everyone doing it.
There are a gazillion things I never seem to get around to doing (fixing the broken blind in our bedroom, getting some photos printed of ‘the baby’ who is almost two but still doesn’t exist on our walls, pinning down the coffee date I’ve been promising my neglected friend via WhatsApp for at least 6 months…) BUT this morning I finally got my arse in gear and ticked off something from my ‘Really Must Do’ list by attending a First Aid class designed specifically for parents, grandparents and carers of babies and young children. It took just two hours out of my morning and covered a whole host of stuff including what to do if a child is choking, how to deal with burns/breaks/bleeding and the basics of life-saving CPR for kids.

The [Mini First Aid] course was wonderful – truly something that all parents should do.
I cannot recommend Mini First Aid enough. Kate ran a private class for me and my 11 year old daughter in the comfort of our own home, which was perfect especially as my babies are due any day now. My daughter and I feel much more confident in knowing what to do in a range of emergency situations and I also got some extra twin tips from Kate as a fellow twin Mum! It's such an important life skill that every parent and carer should have so I would urge you to book a Mini First Aid course today.
This weekend myself and five mummy friends had a private Mini First Aid session from the comfort of my own home. Now I’ve done it I can’t believe I hadn’t done it sooner, what a no-brainer!! It’s a great feeling knowing that I’d know what to do should a situation arise. All in all, I can’t recommend it enough so get your session booked in now!
I learned so much from the Mini First Aid adult awareness class. I feel confident about what to do in a range of first aid situations or emergencies. For the first time, I’ve seen images of what burns look like on black and brown as well as white skin. I know what signs to look for if a child is choking, as these can look different, depending on your skin colour. Thanks Mini First Aid for making your classes relevant to everyone.
I have just attended this class and it thought it was fantastic. I can’t believe I have a two year old and it took me until now to learn some potentially life saving skills. I have come away feeling more confident and so much better placed to deal with something as common as choking, for example. I would certainly recommend this class to anyone especially those with children in their care. It is a friendly and welcoming environment and reasonably priced too, you will take away truly invaluable skills.
Without question the wisest £20 I’ve spent on our children. Emily made the more grueling topics approachable and covered a huge amount efficiently in the two hours. I hope not to need much of what I learned today but feel more confident about what to do should I be faced with a medical emergency. Thank you!
One afternoon, we were enjoying a day out in the sunshine and had stopped to feed our daughter of 7 months, she’s just started solid food and we’d been giving her sliced banana to chew on. On this particular day, she inhaled a small piece and began to choke. I quickly remembered Martin’s words, put her in the proper hold, bottom in the air and one forceful strike between her shoulder blades dislodged the banana and although she was shocked, she was able to breathe again and I can’t tell you how relieved we felt! It may have only been 10 seconds in which she couldn’t breathe but it was terrifying. Had I not had the training from Martin and Mini First Aid, I cannot even begin to imagine how differently the situation could have turned out. In fact, I’d go as far to say that the training I received enabled me to save our daughter’s life.
‘Emily from Mini First Aid always gives our children an informative and engaging First Aid session, with lots of practical opportunities. Year 4 loved the sessions, which are both educational and fun! We would highly recommend them and look forward to inviting Mini First Aid back next year!’
Sky are always looking for ways to better support their staff and Parents@Sky Network offers support and benefits to staff who are parents. I came across Mini First Aid through a Facebook promotion and there was a huge demand for the Infant and Child First Aid class which was shared on our internal and external social channels. The communication and organisation of the event was excellent - Sarah-Lou was professional, engaging and even injected some parent style humour! The class was interactive and educational - everyone took something away from it including much more confidence in dealing with any emergencies which could arise with their little ones. The feedback received on the back of it was amazing! It was a great success and hopefully something we can do again, and potentially roll out to other sites in the UK. Thank you Mini First Aid, you were a pleasure to deal with!
We have seen hundreds of clients go through the Infection Control Course and heard nothing but positive feedback. They were able to do everything in their own time and now have the ability to promote their certificate/badge to all current and future customers which has helped them secure both venues and new clients. I would highly recommend anyone that is running a children's activities business to complete this course.
Bionical have been working with Mini First Aid since 2022, and we couldn't be happier with the relationship. Following expansion and a global pandemic, we were looking for a way to maintain the highest standards of compliance in training for our nursing staff across the UK, whilst maximising efficiency of delivery. It has been lovely working with Mini First Aid who have supported Bionical to maintain compliance and service excellence, whilst being a completely stress-free process. Thank you to both the Head Office administrative team, as well as all your franchisees and trainers.
