Combines Two Important Courses
‘the perfect combo for career nannies.’
Paediatric First Aid and Common Core Skills
Contains two courses for Ofsted Registration: Paediatric First Aid and Common Core Skills
More about each course:
Paediatric First Aid 12 hours by blended learning
This course comprises a classroom day where you are assessed in person throughout the course and a 6-hour eLearning module (completed before your classroom day) accessible from your computer, tablet, or laptop via a unique login code we supply you with. Certification is valid for three years. This course is suitable for Ofsted Registration.
If you do not want to do the eLearning module and prefer just the practical day, just let us know, and we will register you instead for 1-day Emergency Paediatric First Aid Course
Our classes are in an easy-to-get-to location, 5 minutes’ walk from Mile End Tube station, 7 minutes’ walk from Bow Road DLR and several other lines, and many bus routes. There is a large selection of training dates to choose from.
How Blended Learning Works: You are given a unique login code to access 6 hours of eLearning, which forms part of the 12-hour Paediatric First Aid course. The eLearning portal is accessible 24/7, allowing you to choose when you want to learn. You can log in and out, completing all the units that make up the eLearning module in one session or logging in for shorter periods, completing this assignment over several days. We only require you to complete the eLearning module 72 hours before your classroom/practical day. For example, if the school/practical day is on a Saturday, the deadline for completing the eLearning module is 72 hours beforehand. If you purchase your course at the last minute, we will give you a later deadline.
More About Last Minute Bookings!
If you purchase the course very close to the classroom/practical day date, we will agree with you on a deadline for eLearning completion that reflects this. In all circumstances, eLearning must be completed by that agreed deadline for a Learner to study towards Paediatric First Aid 12 hours. Learners will be swapped to Emergency Paediatric First Aid 6 hours if eLearning is not completed by the deadline. If you are unsure if you will complete your eLearning in time, please arrange for a team member to contact you during office hours to discuss the best option for you. We aim to choose a realistic deadline you can and wish to achieve when booking.
In-Person Classroom Day
The Classroom Day runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It begins promptly, and learners must attend the class for the whole day so that the trainer can ensure they have covered every module. You will be taught in small groups, with a maximum of 12 learners in each class.
If you are unsure which Classroom Day date you require, you can complete your eLearning module first and then book your Classroom Day. (If you prefer that option, just let one of the Riverside Training Company team know when you are ready to book your Classroom Day, and we’ll let you know available dates). You must complete the Classroom Day within 7 weeks of completing your eLearning.
Common Core Skills training
The training comprises one-day learning in our virtual classroom. Ahead of your training day, we will send you a unique login code allowing you to access your training session via Zoom from the comfort of your home and participate in the class via your computer, tablet, laptop or mobile smartphone*. When you are logged in (and we’ll show you how), you can see and speak with your tutor, ask questions and fully participate in a live interactive session with the bonus of choosing a comfortable spot to receive your training! You are assessed informally throughout the day by the highly experienced Trainer.
This certified course is mapped to OFSTED Registration and is suitable for presentation to OFSTED as proof of your understanding of Common Core Skills and Knowledge. It also serves as an excellent starter course for anyone considering a career in childcare and for those already working as childcarers.
*As this is a one-day course, we recommend accessing the course on your laptop, computer or tablet as they have a bigger screen
Certificates
Once you have completed each course and assessment, you will be issued a separate eCertificate for each course. Please note that Ofsted accepts eCertificates. Should you also require a hard copy of the certificate(s) for either or both courses, please add this to your shopping cart when you purchase the course click this link to purchase one

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have to do the eLearning module? I’m unsure if I should do the Paediatric First Aid 12-hour course or the 1-day Emergency Paediatric First Aid 6 hours.
A: If you are a Nanny applying to join the OFSTED Voluntary Register and you look after, or intend to look after, the children of two or less families, and the job will take place in the home of one of the families, you can choose whether you want to do the eLearning module or not. The 12-hour Paediatric First Aid qualification (which includes the eLearning module) will always be considered the higher qualification. If you don’t want to do the eLearning module, just join us for the classroom day and we will register you with the Awarding Body for 1 day Emergency Paediatric First Aid 6 hour qualification. If you do want to do the eLearning module and successfully complete the 6 hours on line learning, we will register you with the Awarding Body for 12 hour Paediatric First Aid. The choice is yours, but remember that the 12-hour Paediatric First Aid is a higher qualification.
Q: How do I let Riverside Training Company know which course I have chosen
A: On the booking form is a place where you can confirm your choice, or you can send us a separate email confirming your choice

Great training provider, I have chosen them as they provide bundles for nanny. I did a first aid training, Common core Skills training for nanny and my DBS check. They are skilled and experienced trainers and I received so much learning and useful materials to help me get registered with Ofstead. everything was straight forward. Excellent company and you get a lot for what you pay for

I would recommend this course to anyone who is determined to approach their profession professionally, working with children of different ages. A very professional approach to the presentation of information, a pleasant and friendly atmosphere, an individual approach to each participant of the course, a friendly environment that allows each person to receive all the information at any level of knowledge. Thank you very much for sharing your experience and knowledge. It was extremely helpful for me to understand how best to work with children.
