Blended Paediatric First Aid Training in Chester

Under the updated EYFS 2025 framework,

At least one staff member with a current Paediatric First Aid (PFA) certificate must be on-site at all times and accompany children on outings.

Staff holding Level 2 or Level 3 childcare qualifications since 30 June 2016 must obtain a PFA certificate within three months of starting work to count in the required staff-to-child ratios, and all certificates must be renewed every three years.
