Millie’s Mark has now received full endorsement from the Scottish Government, with children’s minister Maree Todd visiting The Orchard Nursery on Inverleith Row in Edinburgh, one of the first Scottish settings to sign up to the scheme, to mark its launch.
The award, which recognises excellence in paediatric first aid for early years settings, was first set up in England by Millie's trust and the National Day Nurseries Association in 2016.
In order to achieve the award, all staff working with children must be trained in paediatric first aid and remain fully up to date with all related policies and procedures.
Almost 450 nurseries in England have received Millie’s Mark so far, with 110 childcare providers currently working towards it.
