Paediatric first aid training for schools and childcare settings
If you work with children, knowing how to respond in an emergency is not optional. Respire Medical provides paediatric first aid training for schools, nurseries and childcare settings across Bracknell, Wokingham and Berkshire. Ofsted and EYFS-compliant, hands-on, and taught by a qualified paramedic.
Which course do you need?
We offer several paediatric first aid options so you can find the right fit for your setting and your team.
Full Paediatric First Aid (blended learning)
Our most popular option for schools and nurseries. Combines flexible online learning with a face-to-face practical day, so your team gets the hands-on experience they need without taking two full days out of the classroom.

Emergency Paediatric First Aid (6 hours)
A focused one-day course covering the critical emergencies: CPR, choking, bleeding and shock in infants and children. Ideal for settings that need a quicker route to compliance.
CPR and AED for school staff
A shorter session covering adult and child CPR and defibrillator use. Great for whole-staff training days.
Allergy and anaphylaxis awareness (Benedict’s Law)
Practical training to help school staff recognise and respond to severe allergic reactions, in line with Benedict’s Law requirements.
