Keeping Your Childcare Service First Aid Safe and Compliant
When it comes to childcare, safety is paramount. Parents trust you to provide a safe and secure environment for their little ones, and a vital component of that responsibility is being ready for all emergencies.
At St John Ambulance, we’re here to help childcare services like yours achieve the highest standards of safety as required by the NQS Quality Area 2 related to Children's health and safety. We can provide expert first aid training, quality equipment, and ongoing support for your staff.
Partnering with St John NSW demonstrates your commitment to creating a safe and supportive environment for children, giving parents and staff peace of mind.
Why First Aid Training Matters in Childcare
Children are naturally curious and energetic, which means accidents happen even in the most well-supervised environments. From cuts and scrapes to more serious medical emergencies, being equipped with the right first aid skills can make all the difference. In fact, 96% of students report feeling more confident to act in an emergency after attending a St John first aid course. This confidence empowers your staff to respond quickly and effectively, ensuring the best possible outcomes for the children in your care.
