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.

Meet The Trainers

Tina Bush

Hello! My name is Tina and I am your Mini First trainer for Portsmouth, Chichester, Bognor and surrounding areas. I am a qualified and practising Paramedic. A roll in which I have worked in for the last 11 years. I also hold a degree in disability studies. I am passionate about first aid and a mum of a very geeky, busy little boy of 6 years old. Being a mum and a paramedic, I know too well how many bumps and bruises occur daily and I am also aware of how precious their lives are to us. So if I can help you, help them in times of great need. Then together we can keep them smiling.

Caroline Bush

Hi, I'm Cas and I am so happy to be joining the Mini First Aid family. I love the friendly atmosphere and the way the trainers from all areas help each other with providing the best service for our customers. As a mum myself, I feel passionate about passing on knowledge and the skills I have learnt / used both in my personal life and previous role within the sports industry. An accident or incident can happen at any time and in any place. This is why I feel it is so important for as many people to know what to do until the emergency services arrive. I look forward to meeting you all at one of our classes!
