Optimum Training: OPTIMUM have been working with the childcare sector since the business began trading and now has a team of specialised trainers. This specialisation began when the founder Amanda Clarke had a discussion with a work colleague and friend who had young children. Amanda inspired her friend to ensure that her childcarer was first aid qualified in case of an accident. At that time, this was not a legal requirement for this sector. However, Amanda felt so strongly about this that she set up her own “First Aid for Childcarers©” course. As a trained medic, Amanda firmly believed that everybody should have first aid training especially those responsible for youngsters.
It is now recommended by OFSTED that every childcarer should have training in first aid, which should be at least 12 hours duration.
