What is the course about?

The Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage is a document published by The Department for Children, Schools and Families and applies to Early Years childcare within England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Statutory Framework states that 'at least one person who has a current paediatric first aid certificate must be on the premises at all times when children are present. There must be at least one person on outings who has a current paediatric first aid certificate

This is also helpful for first time parents and for parents wishing to gain a deeper understanding in First Aid for the young. The programme can be run flexibly to suit the employer
