“Maggie and the team from Cradle and Kin were amazing! We had a private session in our home, and Maggie was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and accommodating to our needs and questions. We all feel so much more prepared to care for our bub, and found the resources provided extremely helpful. I couldn’t recommend this company more highly.”

“As a nurse, I’ve often found first aid courses repetitive or not particularly useful, but I couldn’t fault today’s session at all. I actually gained new knowledge from the information and resources provided, which really impressed me. I’ll be recommending this course to my friends and fellow healthcare workers.”

- Alysha

"We had such a great experience, Maggie came to my house to run a course for our mother’s group and it was absolutely wonderful. She was so lovely, super knowledgeable and also amazing with the babies. One of the best parts is that you can bring your baby along, Highly recommend to any new parents!"

- Jeike

"My husband and I did a baby & children's first aid course over the weekend and were so pleasantly surprised by how engaging, knowledgeable and educational it was. It was far from your typical first aid course and kept us interested the entire time! Highly recommend it if you're expecting a little one, or know someone who is."

- Sheldon

"Zoe delivered a private course for us and it was far from your average boring classroom first aid course. We laughed and learnt and were able to have our babies with us. Everything was delivered clearly and in a style applicable to real life not textbook style. Zoe was professional yet relatable, extremely experienced and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to learn first aid minus the boring classroom!"

- Rikki

"I could not recommend Cradle and Kin highly enough! I’ve done first aid before but I’ve never felt engaged or laughed my way through the day like I did with Zoe and Maggie. I feel so much more confident since doing their course and my anxiety has gone because I know what to do if my girl is choking. Thank you so much Cradle and Kin."

- Sophie

"Such a good class and everyone learnt something new! Done in the comfort of our own home, no role playing or anything embarrassing like other first aid courses. With a group who are a mixed bag from nurses, St John senior first aid certificate holders, to others never done any form of first aid training, we all walked out learning something new. Makes us all feel a lot more comfortable welcoming new lives into this world in our care."

- Alisha

"I completed a first aid course today and I feel so much more confident in providing first aid! I've actually over the year completed a few first aid courses in person and online and I got so much more out of Cradle and Kin's Course. Zoe and Maggie are beautiful, kind, and professional! I highly recommend it! Thank you ladies. 😊"

- Ashleigh

"Informative, fun, interactive and our family walked away feeling confident with managing any first aid dilemma. The course was delivered by qualified paramedics, who are also mums themselves. We loved the scenario based components which allowed us to think on our feet using the skills we had learnt. Also big bonus we received awesome medication tracker fridge magnets, a mini handbook and DRSABC magnet. I highly recommend it!"

- Chelsea

"We hosted Zoe at our house yesterday for a paediatric first aid course in preparation for our nephew’s arrival. The course was extremely organised, interesting and very relaxed which made it easy to learn and ask questions. Having done a different course back in 2017 before our first son arrived we thought this would just be a refresher but found we learnt a lot more practical information about what to do in a real emergency which can make the difference in saving somebody’s life."

- Emma

"Being a few weeks away from becoming a first time mum, I'm so glad I did this course. My husband and I feel much more confident in being able to identify and address health concerns our bub might face in the future. Maggie and Zoe have created a fantastic course and I can’t recommend it enough."

- Michelle

"Just hosted a private course on the weekend. Everyone who attended loved it and walked away more confident than they arrived. Zoe was kind, funny, super knowledgeable and to the point but always willing to elaborate or answer endless questions. Time was managed well and the content was great and well presented. I would definitely recommend it!"
