We are delighted to confirm that all of our settings across the UK have been awarded Tigerlily Training Platinum Accreditation, the largest nursery group to achieve this milestone.

The Tigerlily Training First Aid Accreditation Award formally recognises UK schools, nurseries and early years settings that meet rigorous standards for child safety and emergency preparedness.  The Platinum Accreditation Award is Tigerlily’s highest distinction.

Earlier this year, Partou announced the appointment of Tigerlily as its approved paediatric first aid provider.

Established in 2004 and with a team of 180 trainers, Tigerlily delivers accredited courses to over 100,000 learners per year through a network of more than 120 training venues nationwide.

In addition to in-person training, Partou team members in its more than 100 UK settings have had access to online refresher training to ensure their knowledge is up to date.

There have also been opportunities for families with children at Partou nurseries to learn the basics of first aid under the guidance of Tigerlily Training professionals.

“We’re thrilled that all Partou nurseries have been awarded Tigerlily’s Platinum Accreditation.

“It’s a testament to our teams and the strong bond we’ve established with Tigerlily in delivering the best possible first aid training.”

“We’re incredibly proud to see every Partou setting achieve Tigerlily Platinum Accreditation.

“It’s a fantastic achievement and reflects the commitment of their teams to maintaining the highest standards of first aid and emergency preparedness.

“We’ve really valued our partnership with Partou and are delighted to recognise what they’ve achieved across the whole group.”

“Congratulations to our UK teams on making Partou the largest day nursery provider to achieve Tigerlily Training Platinum Accreditation across every setting.

“The safety and wellbeing of the children in our care will always be our top priority, and there is no room for complacency.”

“Our rolling programme with Tigerlily enables our teams around the country to keep their first aid skills fully up to speed and ready to respond to any emergency.”
