Millies Mark Award - Little Faces Childcare

Recipient: Little Faces Childcare

Date: Friday 27 Jan 2017

Little Faces was the FIRST in Essex to achieve this national accreditation for going above and beyond the minimum legal requirements to have paediatric first aid trained staff. They were also one of the first 12 in the Country too. Little Faces has always ensured ALL staff are trained in paediatric first aid (within 3 months of joining the setting) and it is renewed every 3 years.

Millie's Mark is named after Millie Thompson, who tragically died as a result of choking in a nursery in 2012. Her parents, Dan and Joanne have campaigned for all staff to have paediatric first aid training and having Millie's Mark demonstrates that nurseries have met this.
