Exactly the right level and pace to be a friendly, gentle introduction to basic First Aid for children- giving them confidence and skills to deal with emergencies. My daughter really enjoyed the hands on activities (and the sticker rewards!), and the instructors made it fun and playful, while still ensuring that the children were learning and practising in age appropriate ways.
