The coroner's concerns
1. only one PFA certified staff member on site
“at least one" member of staff must have a valid paediatric first aid certificate”
2. PFA certificate up to 3 years earlier without refresher training
“PFA training must be renewed every three years and be relevant for workers caring for young children and where relevant, babies”
3. lack of knowledge by nursery staff regarding different stages of weaning
“staff appreciated the importance of mirroring weaning at home with weaning at nursery”
