Excellent First Aid course

My husband and I (32 weeks at the time) attended the baby and child first aid course in person and absolutely loved it. It was my first time attending a first aid course of any nature, let alone an infant and child specific course, and at no point did I feel overwhelmed or confused by the information provided. The information was delivered clearly, detailed yet not overwhelming, confidently and at the perfect pace.
The hands on practice really helped too. Being in a room with about 50 other people I thought we would be overlooked and not receive feedback during the hands on exercises, but Rach lead the class so well that she was able to give individual feedback, which gave us confidence.
1 week on, I still feel confident in the knowledge that I've learnt, backed up with the physical first aid book that we received on the day with further information.
Thank you so much, Tiny Hearts!

Baby and Toddler half day first aid & CPR course

As a first time grandmother I attended this course with my daughter who has a six month old. Even though I had previously attended several first aid training sessions I found this one to be the easiest to follow with exceptionally well planned and professionally presented material that was especially relevant to young parents and caregivers. I found the CPR instructions particularly easy to comprehend and for the first time I now actually feel confident should I need to use it. I would highly recommend this course and think it would be such a valuable gift for new parents.

First aid course - Recommended for every parent!

My husband and I thought this was such a great informative course, gave us a lot more confidence approaching our first childs arrival on how to manage sickness and emergencies. I think every parent should do this course! Covers so much content but in a concise engaging way. Presentation & host was great, CPR training and goodie bag was awesome!

Thank you Tiny Hearts

Loved the course ran by Rach on Saturday - extremely informative but also just focused on the things that we as new (and impending) parents need to know. Rach is a very engaging and entertaining speaker and perfectly balanced the serious side with some personal anecdotes. Would highly recommend for any new parents or caregivers. I feel so much more confident going into parenthood with this toolkit of information from the Tiny Hearts team :)
