Millie’s Mark
Millie’s Mark is the gold standard in paediatric first aid for childcare providers. It is named after Millie Thompson, who died after choking on food at a nursery in 2012 when she was just nine months old. Millie’s Mark was created by her mother Joanne and father Dan Thompson. Millie’s Mark provides reassurance to parents that all childcare practitioners at their child’s nursery are paediatric first aid trained and competent.
Millie’s Mark is awarded as a special endorsement to childcare providers that go above and beyond these minimum requirements by having 100% of staff trained in paediatric first aid, and also ensuring that everything learned during the course is kept alive and in the forefront of practitioners’ minds so that they are confident, ready and capable.
