Millies Mark accreditation - My Ohana York Nursery

Recipient: My Ohana York Nursery

Date: Sunday 08 Sep 2024

Millie's legacy
Millie's Mark is named after Millie Thompson, who died after choking on food at nursery in 2012 when she was just nine months old.

Millie's Mark in England
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) guidelines, which childcare settings in England are required to follow, currently state that just one person with a current paediatric first aid certificate must be on the premises and available at all times when children are present or on outings.

The achievement of the mark acknowledges that staff would be confident in maybe one day saving a child’s life if they needed to. Confidence is a key factor in the administration of first aid and Millie’s Mark allows nurseries to feel confident in their own team.
