Reviews
“A must do course for anyone no matter what your experience is. Safe Start offered pro-active advice with excellent supportive material and ongoing after course engagement. Many people do first aid or other medical courses; however, the Safe Start Program is practically centered around prevention. The program allowed us to immediately put actions in place and increased our awareness of the hazards and risks that are around us everyday.” Stephen – New Dad
“An easy to follow and a great program for new parents. I LOVED the car seat demonstration, safe sleep info, and info pack I got in the post. The 3 hours really flew by!
