Choking and accidental strangulation are a leading cause of death for under fours in the UK, yet 95% of adults would not know what to do in an emergency. That’s according to TV personality Dr Ranj Singh in The Northern Echo.

Shotley Bridge Nursery Welcomes Dr. Ranj

Dr Ranj was in Consett on Saturday to host an event at Shotley Bridge Nursery School for the unveiling of the Millie’s Mark Plaque, celebrating their commitment to having all of their 30 childcare staff members trained in pediatric first aid. By going above and beyond the legal requirements and seeing through their commitment to excellence in child safety, Shotley Bridge Nursery School have been recognized with the highly coveted Millie’s Mark seal of approval.

Nursery director Laura Bowery told the Northern Echo “We want the nursery to be the best it can be and Millie’s Mark became part of that, we thought our first aid practices were good before but we are now much better and staff will have the knowledge and confidence to know what to do if a child needs help.”
