Bespoke Baby First Aid & Weaning Course 

Sometimes you don't want to join a standard group course. You want to learn alongside the people you already know, ask the questions that matter to you and have the time and space to talk through your own concerns.

​

That's why I offer my Baby First Aid and Weaning Without Worry™ privately.

​

Whether you've a group of friends preparing to start Weaning, grandparents wanting to feel confident with baby first aid, or a course just for you, I can create a relaxed, supportive and completely bespoke session.

​

Choose to come to the peaceful Baby Steps Studio in Hindhead, or I can bring the course to your home or another suitable location within Surrey, Hampshire or London.

Weaning Without Worry™
Private Course

Starting solids should feel exciting, not overwhelming.

​

My Weaning Without Worry™ approach brings together three important elements: practical weaning guidance, essential first aid and emotional reassurance.

​

Your private course can cover everything from recognising when your baby is ready and introducing first foods to baby-led weaning, finger foods, allergies, gagging and choking.

​

You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions specific to your babies, your families and your stage of the weaning journey.

​

Together, we'll explore:

  • When your baby is ready to start solids

  • Purées, finger foods and baby-led weaning

  • Introducing common allergens

  • Gagging vs choking

  • First aid for choking and allergic reactions

  • Making family mealtimes easier

  • Practical, time-saving weaning tips

  • Your group's individual questions and concerns​

​

Where to have the group course:

  • In the comfort of your own home - I can travel to London, Hampshire, Surrey and surrounding areas

  • At the Baby Steps Studio in Hindhead

​

Duration & Cost:

  • 2.5 hour group course

  • Starting from £250 for individual/groups of 1-4 people (£50pp for extras)
  • Travel expenses to be added, including London's Congestion Charge if applicable

​

My First Aid & Home Safety course gives parents, grandparents and carers practical knowledge and hands-on experience to help them stay calm when the unexpected happens.

​

Together, we'll cover:​

  • Choking and CPR

  • Burns and scalds

  • Cuts and bleeding

  • Falls and head injuries

  • Fevers and febrile convulsions

  • Allergic reactions

  • Poisoning and accidental ingestions

  • Common childhood illnesses

  • Home safety and accident prevention

  • Safer sleep

  • When and where to seek further help

 

Hands-on practice is included so you can build confidence rather than simply listening in.

Support for parents who feel anxious or overwhelmed

I know that First Aid and Weaning can bring up very real worries for parents. ​With over 30 years of  working for the NHS, including extensive Paediatric A&E experience, Health Visitor and Maternal Wellbeing Practitioner, I understand that every parent and every family is different.

​

For some families, previous experiences of anxiety, loss or trauma can make certain aspects of parenthood feel particularly difficult. You may be worried about choking, fearful of something going wrong, or simply find that certain situations bring up emotions you weren't expecting.

​

As a specialist in supporting parents around these situations, I understand the importance of creating a space where you can learn without feeling judged, rushed or overwhelmed.

​

My approach is calm, compassionate and practical. I'll help you build knowledge and confidence at a pace that feels manageable for you.

​

If you have specific concerns you'd like to discuss, please get in touch. We can talk about what you need and how I can best support you.

Reviews & Love Notes
Read Google Reviews

We booked a First Aid course with Katherine, focusing on our 18-month-old granddaughter, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience.

Katherine came to our home, which made the whole session feel relaxed, comfortable and very informative. It was really helpful to practise different scenarios using the resuscitation dolls, and we now feel much more confident about how to respond should we ever find ourselves in an emergency.

We also received a fantastic first aid book, along with lots of useful tips on child safety and childproofing the home.​

We would highly recommend Katherine to any family or grandparents wanting to gain confidence and practical knowledge when caring for young children. A brilliant and worthwhile course! ❤️
