Emergency Paediatric First aid is great for newly qualified early years staff. Not to mention, anyone working with children or infants, such as:

Note: Emergency First Aid at Work and First Aid at Work courses do not teach first aid on infants and children and are therefore not equivalent to paediatric qualifications.
