The group has gained the award for paediatric first aid across all 44 of its nurseries.
Millie’s Mark is delivered by Millie’s Trust in partnership with National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) and recognises settings in which all practitioners are fully trained in paediatric first aid.
Millie’s Trust was set up by Joanne and Dan Thompson in 2012 after their nine-month-old daughter died following a choking incident at nursery.
Co-op Childcare has been involved with the Millie’s Mark scheme since it was first piloted at its nursery in Newburn in 2016. The group’s Dewsbury setting became the 300th UK nursery to achieve the accreditation in Summer 2018.
