Paediatric First Aid Training reimbursement

A reminder that Gloucestershire Local Authority will make a funding contribution towards the cost of paediatric First Aid training for childminders and settings, not schools. On completion of an appropriate EYFS compliant training settings may apply for payment of up to £60 per practitioner up to a maximum of 3 practitioners per setting. To receive the funding contribution childminders and practitioners should email a scanned copy of their certificate which must be from a company providing EYFS compliant training together with a receipt for payment. Email address to be used is earlyyearsteam@gloucestershire.gov.uk

You must indicate clearly whether you are a registered childminder, childminder currently going through the registration process or which daycare setting you are from. Payment will usually be made by BACs during the month following receipt of the certificate.

Childminders currently going through the registration process will be eligible to apply for reimbursement on completion of a recognised EYFS training course for childminders, such as the free GCC course 'First Steps to Childminding'. Please email a scanned copy of your certificate showing completion of the course together with your First Aid certificate plus receipt.

Please note this funding is subject to availability and is no guarantee of future funding.

ERFA Paediatric first aid training is a recognised EYFS training course so you will be able to claim your reimbursement.
