In order to comply with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory Framework, all early years providers in England are mandated to have at least one member of staff who holds a valid and current paediatric first aid certificate. The individual must be present at all times when children are present.

Individuals who have gained a level 2 and/or level 3 childcare qualification and have entered into an early years setting and wish to be included in the staff to child ratios to comply with EYFS requirements.
Registered childminders and assistants who are required to hold a current and full paediatric first aid certificate in order to comply with the EYFS requirements.
Anyone who has a non-professional involvement with infants and children, such as parents, grandparents and want to learn key paediatric first aid skills.
