Award-winning First Aid classes across the UK

About Mini First Aid

Mini First Aid was founded in January 2014 by mum of six, Kate Ball, with a mission to deliver high-quality baby and child first aid classes to parents and carers. Since then, the business has grown rapidly and now trains over 2,000 people every week across the UK in basic and life-saving first aid.

Our multi award-winning classes are designed to be relaxed, accessible, and confidence-boosting - giving you the knowledge and skills to act in a medical emergency. We offer sessions for the whole family, including parents, grandparents, carers, and even children as young as three.

In 2021, Kate and her husband Matt appeared on Dragons’ Den and secured investment from Sara Davies MBE. Since then, Mini First Aid has continued to expand, including the development of our own range of brilliant first aid products, now stocked in major retailers.

Mini First Aid classes are CPD-accredited, and we are proud members of the First Aid Industry Body. We also provide a comprehensive range of certified first aid courses for those needing formal qualifications. As the UK’s leading provider of paediatric first aid, we are passionate about empowering families and professionals alike with essential first aid skills.

We also host The Family Health Podcast with Mini First Aid, where founder Kate speaks with leading experts each week to share honest, reassuring advice on the family health topics that matter most.

About Mini First Aid

Meet The Team

Anna Choudhry

Hi, I’m Anna and I’m a mum to 3 children. I’ve worked for many years in the care profession and have dealt with various first aid situations. As a mum I’ve experienced some scary situations, from simple things like bumps and grazes to more worrying things like bronchiolitis and meningitis, but due to being first aid trained I was able to keep calm and help my children accordingly. I believe anybody caring for children should know basic first aid skills, having the knowledge to help could save a child’s life.

Grace Worthington

Hi, I am Grace and I am mum to 3 children. I have been a nurse for nearly 20 years and spent lots of time working with children in different settings. My little ones have kept us on our toes with meningitis scares, choking and breathing related incidents and I am so thankful I knew what to do to help. Often people say ‘I wouldn’t have had a clue!’ and that’s why I am so passionate about all our courses. We love to give you knowledge and skills to have confidence in First Aid situations for you and your family.
