Mini First Aid Reviews 

Emily gave so much information in a short space of time. She covered many topics of baby/child first aid which has given me more confidence to look after my young grandchildren with more confidence.

This has potential, and could be so easily improved with a few tweaks, but unfortunately a lack of attention to detail lets this down.
The booklets had out of date information - extra pages were provided that corrected the information, but I don't know why they didn't just give us up to date booklets - it felt like they were just cheaping out.
The booklet was missing the DRABC acronym content, this was printed separately to show us but should be in the booklet. There was also some slightly different instructions/info in the booklet to what we were taught, which is confusing.
Pens were handed out as an afterthought, there weren't enough for everyone (they were also dirty).
There were no refreshments, I expected tea and coffee and maybe some biscuits, but not even water was provided.
We weren't allowed to practice rescue breaths on the mannequins, and our practice wasn't overseen/corrected.
It would have been nice to go round the group and do intros, to get a sense of why people were there so content could be slightly tailored, and also would have been nice to break the ice. People were shy and quiet which meant the session lacked energy. Perhaps breaking out into groups would have made the session a bit more interesting, interactive and better structured.
A little freebie such as a pen or wallet card with cpr instructions for example would be a nice touch.

Liz is so engaging and informative. A really impressive mini first aid course - a must for parents to be, parents and grandparents.
A professional company who deserve continued future success.

Jacqui was brilliant, learnt so much and felt really comfortable the whole time, really lovely experience and walked away feeling confident.
Definitely worth the money and would recommend anyone with babies and children

Jackie was a great personality! She kept the session light which instantly put me at ease while still providing the information in a clear and informative manner.

Brilliant information and fun morning spent with jacqui

Laura has been amazing. She has covered everything in great detail and made sure that we understood and were confident and comfortable to ask any questions that we had. One of the best first aid courses I have ever been a part of!

Very interesting and Andy was friendly and put us all at ease. It was a great session!
Thank you Mini First Aid Norfolk!

We had such a fantastic experience with Mini First Aid last night! My partner and I attended a baby and child first aid course as we’re expecting our first baby, and we honestly couldn’t recommend it enough.

Before the session, we both felt quite unsure about what we would actually need to do if something happened to our baby or a child. The thought of being faced with an emergency is something that can feel really daunting, especially as first-time parents.

The course was incredibly informative, practical and easy to understand. We were shown what to do in a range of situations and, most importantly, had the opportunity to practise the techniques ourselves. Everything was explained clearly and in a really relaxed, supportive way, which made such a difference.

We both came away feeling so much more confident and prepared. Of course, we hope we never have to use what we learnt, but knowing that we now have the knowledge and practical skills to respond should something happen gives us a huge amount of reassurance.

It was also lovely to attend together and feel like we’re already taking steps towards feeling more prepared for our little one’s arrival. We would genuinely recommend Mini First Aid to any new or expectant parents — it’s definitely a few hours well spent! 💗👶

I attended the Mini First Aid Paediatric First Aid course 12 hours (6 hours online and 6 hours in person) on Saturday and found it incredibly informative and worthwhile.

The course was delivered by Claire in a really engaging and practical way, which made it much easier to understand and remember what to do in different first aid situations. I particularly found the practical aspect valuable, as being able to practise the skills myself has given me much more confidence in knowing what to do if I ever need to provide first aid.

I came away feeling much more prepared and confident, especially when it comes to caring for babies and children. I would definitely recommend Mini First Aid to anyone who works with or cares for children! I also think that the course is priced extremely well ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Highly recommended - I recently updated my adult and child first aid qualifications with Mini First Aid, and I must say, they are very professional and keep up with the latest information. You do not need to take a qualification; e.g. courses begin at £30 for parents, grandparents and carers. You can also opt for public classes at local venues or arrange a private class - you and others can only benefit. Katy and Claire were excellent trainers willing and able to help and answer all our questions - thank you.
PS: Since the course, a friend collapsed at home and was saved by CPR...!

Baby first aid 16 August 2026 Mulbarton village Hall - trainer Laura. As a new grandparent I was keen to learn first aid skills. Well structured 2hr course, relaxed environment and Laura was very knowledgeable with ad hoc questions being asked. Everything explained in plain language and opportunities to have hands on practice with dummies. Lots of topics covered. Very informative and fun couple of hours, small group of 12. Even once the class had finished Laura was still happy to take further questions. Small shop at the end available to browse, no pressure to buy. Highly recommend, great value for money. Well spent couple of hours and many thanks to Laura, amazing teacher! Sarah TB

Informative, well explained and up to date. Hopefully never need to use it but better to have the knowledge and not need it than need it and not have it.

Trainer was excellent
V informative
Great to have option to bring baby with
Would recommend anyone with child not trained to go so they can get a basic under Of what to do in an emergency situation

That's a very useful course in every day life. I recommend everyone to attend this course.

Katy and her team mate (forgot the name 🙈) were both amazing!!! It’s was a very relaxing atmosphere and extremely informative, she patiently answered each and every question clearly and explained every single detail of the course. The equipment was really well maintained, ready and neatly arranged. The 6 hour course flew by as she made everything so clear and concise. Best course I’ve been on.

Very insightful! Would absolutely recommend

Really enjoyed the Mini First Aid course. Liz Watt was very knowledgeable and taught lots of very practical things. We also got a chance to try them out on life-size baby dolls, which was very helpful. We covered a great deal including CPR, burns, bleeding, choking, seizures, menigitis and more. It was a very worthwhile 2 hours.

We attended the 2-hour Mini First Aid course with Lynsay (Fife & Forth Valley) and couldn't recommend it more highly. As parents-to-be we found the session incredibly informative and reassuring.

Lynsay was knowledgeable and engaging throughout. She explained everything clearly, answered all of our questions with confidence, and made us feel much more prepared to enter parenthood.

The course was well structured, hands-on (how I learn best!) and full of useful advice that every new parent should know. We left feeling more confident and equipped with the skills to respond in an emergency. Thank you, Lynsay and Mini First Aid Fife & Forth Valley, for such a valuable and enjoyable course!
