Youngsters and staff at the nursery celebrate the achievement
A NURSERY near Carterton was celebrating after being given a first aid award.
The team at Filkins Nursery were delighted to be awarded the Millie’s Mark, a quality mark for nurseries at which all staff working directly with children are trained in paediatric first aid.
It was given to the nursery by the National Day Nurseries Association in association with the Department for Education and Millie’s Trust.
Staff had spent six months working hard to go above and beyond the minimum requirements to keep children safe.
Millie’s Mark is named after Millie Thompson, who died after choking on food at nursery at nine months old.
