Our Multi Award winning classes are delivered in a relaxed and comfortable style and give you confidence to know what actions to take if faced with a medical emergency.
Mini First Aid offers a range of classes across the UK for all the family; parents, grandparents, carers and for children as young as three years old, training them in basic and life-saving first aid.
I’m Beth, mum to two children, James (7) and Ruth (4). I have worked in nurseries, schools, and children’s social care for years, so have always had first aid training, but I am delighted that I’ve now completed all my training with Mini First Aid and I get the opportunity to pass this on to the parents and carers of Bristol. I really believe that one of the most important things you can do when looking after little people is to know how to care for them if something goes wrong, and that’s why I love meeting you and sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for first aid with you. All my sessions are relaxed and informal, while offering you the chance to practice skills and get a better understanding of how to keep those you care most about safe.
I’m Karina, I am delighted to join Mini First Aid Bristol! I have worked as a paediatric nurse for over 25 years gaining a great foundation of knowledge and practical skills that can be used in emergency situations. Also, as a proud parent to two teenage children, I have had to manage a number of medical emergencies along the way. I feel passionate about sharing the knowledge I have gained, with both adults and children, to teach essential life skills needed to feel confident when accidents happen.
Hello, I’m Katy. I am a Mum to 2 young children - Rafferty and Lilah. I’ve been a nurse for 20 years, working most recently as an Emergency Nurse Practitioner. Despite being trained and experienced in emergency care, being a Mum has highlighted to me the value of basic first aid knowledge and how it helps to be able to stay calm and manage situations which arise in every day life. Working in urgent care and seeing how the outcome for sick and injured children can be so dependent on how appropriately and quickly they were helped at home, gave me the inspiration to become a children’s first aid trainer. My goal is to teach as many parents, grandparents, carers, and children themselves, how to provide good quality first aid so everyone stands the best chance of recovery. As a working Mum I understand how busy life can be, but I do believe a priority for every parent should be to learn how to help their child when they need it most.
Zoe held a private mini first aid class for 8 of us last night at my house and it was fantastic. Perfect amount of time and covered all the key essentials a Mum of little ones would need to recommend! Thanks Zoe!
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.
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.
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.
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!
I arranged a mini first aid class at my home with Zoe. It was really easy and quick to arrange, Zoe responded to all my emails quickly and answered any of my queries. The class was fantastic, it was very informative covering the main first aid procedures parents worry about and may not know with some practical as well to make sure we feel comfortable doing it if ever needed. Zoe was wonderful with my 9 month old daughter who loves exploring everything, she made us feel at ease and we found her approachable and knowledgeable. It was great value for money, definitely worth doing and would recommend to any parent who has never had baby and child first aid or needs a refresher.
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.
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.
I attended the class last night and I thought it was brilliant, hopefully none of us will ever have to use the first aid. However, should you be in the circumstance that you do hopefully you can apply some of what you’ve learnt even if it’s elements as you maybe flustered. Zoe was fab and would highly recommend attending the course and encourage grandparents etc to also attend.
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.
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.
I have been putting off attending a first aid course as I was concerned that it would turn me into a nervous wreak and seeing danger around every corner! But my friend recommended this course and I am so glad she did. I feel confident now that I would be able to take control in an emergency situation. Zoe did a brilliant job of reassuring and not scaring us. Hearing a mix of official guidelines and parents instincts made it really practical. There were lots of opportunities to ask questions and to try out the techniques. I am off to get our first aid kit sorted now!

We are pleased to announce that we are working with award winners and industry leaders, Mini First Aid, who will be providing our Tribe with bespoke outdoor first aid training.
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!
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] course was wonderful – truly something that all parents should do.
The Mini First Aid class (filmed for ITVBe) was a fantastic class, both Arg and I found it a really good and informative session.
Me and my Husband attended this class. It’s a relief that we both know what to do in an emergency situation. Be it at home or out and about for another child. We were welcomed to bring our 11week old baby too which was a nice touch, thank you. The class was brilliant! Friendly and crammed with valuable knowledge. We bought a first aid kit for the pram too.
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.
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.
