Hi,


I'm sure there must be a thread about this somewhere but I don't seem to be able to find one.


I was hoping to do a baby/child first aid course and wondered if anyone had a good recommendation? I was hoping to find someone who can come to the house and train a small group of us.


Would be very grateful for any tips.


Thank you so much

I did first aid training at First Place in Chumleigh Gardens and it was free, so you could ring Elena on 0207 740 8079 to see if there are any upcoming courses. I think it's also taught as part of the Best Start for Babies course which is run at The Grove and other places in Southwark. You could start by ringing 1st Place (see above) and the Grove (020 7701 6629 - ask for Lorraine) as they might know where it's next running.

I did a course with Sarah Kohn who runs this company: http://www.earlybirdfirstaid.com/


It was about ?50pp I think and lasted half a day. As someone who has done several adult first aid courses, I found it very helpful. She only focussed on a few key things (choking, CPR, burns and touched on one or two other things), so it might not suit you if you're looking for something more comprehensive, but I actually found that very useful. When you have a young child, there's only so much information your brain can manage in one go so I liked the fact that I could be confident about a few very important areas rather than know a little bit about lots of things.


At the time, she said she was happy to travel to people's homes to run the course if you could get a group of four or more together. The one I went to was on The Cut, just by Waterloo but she may do other venues. And she is happy for pre-crawling babies to come too.

    • As we know Love Dulwich is now a Turkish meze grill restaurant and today they have started their lunch time special. A choice of a cold or hot starter (4 of each to choose from), plus a main meal (4 the choose from including a veggie meal) £15. I had hummus with the softest, warm bread to dip in it (you can ask for more bread) and then chicken shesh, 3 types of salad (onion & sumac, red cabbage & traditional leaf), bulgar - huge portions.   The food was tasty and delicious. Chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy and full of flavour, salad was fresh and the bulgar was cooked perfectly.  If you didn’t want the lunch special they also had the main menu which was small but with some amazing meal, chicken, veggie & fish options.  We really enjoyed it and will be back to sample the evening menu as well.   
    • Nikolay's work was recommended by several forum users in here, and we decided to go with his services after getting his quote: it was well priced, with the cost of each component clearly broken down. We recently purchased a Victorian conversion in Catford which had alot of damaged floorboards (old, but also damaged from badly done DIY repairs) which needed replacing, and a 4 x 4m bedroom which needed all new floorboards installed as previous owners removed all original boards to install cheap chipboard floors covered with padding and carpets. Nikolay and his team removed the chipboards, and built the floor in 2–3 days from reclaimed boards, alongside doing alot of replacements and repairs to a lounge and dining room. When the quote was to go up due to more repairs being needed (we asked for it) Nikolay communicated the changes, and gave us an updated quote quickly so we could update our budget for it. They were very communicative and gave frequent text and photo progress updates when we could not be there which put us at ease. The whole job was efficiently completed in 6 working days including sanding and staining all the floors. The job was completed to a high standard, and the results were incredible. I still have 1 more bedroom which needs restoring, and I have every intention to go back to Nikolay again for his services.
