The death of a nine-month-old baby has triggered a campaign for nursery staff to be trained in paediatric first aid.

In October 2012, Millie Thompson choked to death on her lunch at Ramillies Hall School and Nursery in Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester.

While an inquest did not find anyone at fault, the coroner recommended that all nursery practitioners should be trained in first aid.

An e-petition signed by 103,031 people led to a debate at Westminster Hall in December 2014 and government has pledged to produce guidance on paediatric first aid training in nurseries.

It also pledged to hold a national review on mandatory training.

Millie’s parents, Joanne and Dan Thompson, want it to be passed as a law.

The Childcare Act 2006 stipulates that at least one person who has a current paediatric first aid certificate must always be within the premises when children are present.

All members of staff at Kiddies Kottage Nursery are trained in paediatric first aid.
