Can anyone recommend a good first aid course locally? I would like to update my knowledge - especially with children.

I have just completed a short course which is organised by Ariadna Sole (she is on the forum as birthmatters) and I would recommend it. It was 2 consecutive Saturday mornings at 2 hours per session. We covered lots of things from CPR to cuts and wounds. It is quite fast paced, but the group was small so we got to do some practical work. I didn't have any experience at all and found it useful, so if you are after a refresher it would probably be good for you. I am not sure when the next course is, but I will be signing my husband up!

Is it suitable for Ofsted registration?

We did this one:

which was great (covered choking and CPR mainly) and really well priced!

SBot - no idea, you would need to contact the organiser.

I contacted London Ambulance Service and they have said they will do one in my home for free. There will be 5 of us doing it, and I am just working out the details with them; might worth contacting them? My husband and I plan to give a donation to the charity in return as a thanks for thier time.

Yes, London Ambulance service. An excellent course and if you provide the space they'll do it for free. They do one for babies and one for older children too, just get a few mates together and you're sorted. A brilliant service.
