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.

    • Trump suffers from opening his mouth before putting his brain in gear. Needs to take a lesson in statesmanship from Carney, slow well thought out responses to media questions. How about Carney for President of the US as well. That should upset some and more.
    • As every day goes by, it looks increasingly likely that Trump is going to sell Ukraine down the river. It's a re-run of Chamberlain and Hitler over Czechoslovakia. Trump talks of re-allocating "assets" which means conceding assets of Ukraine to Putin  and of putting in peace-keeping forces into Ukraine  to "guarantee" security. History tells us that peace-keeping forces are ineffective. Remember Bosnia & Hertzogovinia in 1996. Remember the peace keepers on the Golan Heights. They disappeared without firing a shot when Serbia and Israel took military action. It will be the same in Ukraine. Give it five years (or less) and Russia will extend its land grab.  Sadly, history repeats itself because the appeasers fail to grasp the realities. Just pray that The Donald becomes the fifth before too long.  
    • Niko completed a third job for me now. A leaking tap that was oozing from everywhere. I called Niko in the morning, showed him a recording of the problem,  and he was over with a new tap, fitted within the hour. Job done, perfect! I know I can always rely on Niko. He is my go to plumber.
