What do I need to provide effective paediatric first aid?

According to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework, at least one first aider – with relevant paediatric first aid training – needs to be on the premises, and available at all times when children are present. You also need to ensure this person has everything they need to respond to accidents and emergencies quickly – so investing in a couple of fully approved first aid kits is a great place to start. For most early years settings, we recommend having at least one paediatric first aid kit – specifically for the children in your care – plus a workplace first aid kit for your staff. These will contain a selection of all the essential first aid supplies (e.g. plasters, dressings, bandages, safety pins, etc.), ensuring you’re prepared for the most common accidents and injuries and compliant with current HSE guidelines. Extra items can then be added to the kit, depending on the specific needs of your business. For example, cold compresses and hot and cold gel packs can be extremely useful in childcare settings. Nurseries can never have too many cleansing wipes, so it may also be worth stocking up on these. And investing in some basic first aid equipment, such as a thermometer and plastic forceps is always handy.

How many first aid kits should I buy?

This depends on the size and nature of your early years setting. An appropriate number of first aid kits should be informed by your risk assessment. But it’s also worth considering: • How many separate areas does your setting have? Different rooms and floors will all need quick and easy access to first aid supplies. • Are there any sites that are separate from the main building? Such as a playground or sports field. Again, these will need to have immediate access to first aid. • Does your setting organise day trips or other activities off-site? If so, you may need to invest in an additional portable first aid kit. It’s also a good idea to check your kits regularly, replacing any items that have expired and re-stocking items where necessary. Never get to the point where you’re using the last plaster!

Are our first aid supplies eco-friendly?

As a proud member of Planet Mark, many of our products – including some found in our first aid range – have been carefully selected for their fantastic eco-credentials. Take, for example, our children’s HSE first aid kit. Not only does this meet legal obligations, as an industry-leading product, its contents are housed in a carry case made from 100% recycled and recyclable plastic – therefore minimising its carbon footprint. Plus, refills are available to buy supplied in a recyclable carton. We also offer a number of reusable first aid products, including washable bandages and gel packs – which are a fantastic alternative to like-for-like disposable products and a great option for eco-friendly nurseries. To find out more about our commitment to sustainability, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
