Mum of six, Kate Ball initially started Mini First Aid in 2014 from her kitchen table in Leeds, offering high quality baby & child first aid classes to parents and carers. Demand grew and Kate saw the potential for growth, so she started franchising the business in 2015. In 2021, BBC Dragon’s Den star Sara Davies, also saw the huge potential in Mini First Aid and she came on board as an investor and adviser. Mini First Aid is now a multi-award-winning organisation and has almost 70 franchises nationwide.
Hi! My name is Kellie and I am the incredibly proud owner of Mini First Aid Shropshire. I qualified as a paediatric nurse in 2013 and since I qualified I have been lucky enough to work in a number of different areas of nursing - but most recently found myself working in A&E. In lockdown I became a mommy myself - to a little girl called Brianna - and was able to see things from a different perspective. A parent's perspective. In November 2021 I decided that I wanted to share my skills and knowledge with other parents/ grandparents/ carers and anyone else who wanted to learn life saving skills. Not just this, but I wanted to be able to deliver these in a relaxed and comfortable style, make them available to those with newborns (I know what it's like to not want to leave your new baby!) My aim is to share with you the skills and knowledge to give you the confidence to know what actions to take if ever faced with a medical emergency. I can't wait to meet you (and your babies!)

As a midwife of 12 years and a mother, Charlotte is aware of the changes and stresses that happen when becoming a parent. Charlotte also runs “Blooming bump”, providing holistic midwifery care and not only does she want to empower women on their pregnancy journey, but she now also wants to empower parents to feel more confident when it comes to their little ones and first aid, making sure that others have the confidence to know how to react should something happen.
Hi, My name is Claire and I’m so excited to be joining the Mini First Aid Team. I first met Kellie when she came to the school I am a Support Assistant at. I was absolutely blown away by her enthusiasm, knowledge and charm she gave to the children she taught. I have been a Teaching Assistant for 11 years and before that was an at home Mummy to three girlies, twins Grace and Billie, who are now 18 and Molly, who is 16. My passion for children and babies started when I trained as a Nurse then Midwife many years ago! My qualifications allowed me the privilege of travel to Australia where I spent 10 years as a Midwife, Postnatal Educator, Lactation Consultant and Early Childhood Health Nurse. Supporting the education of children in school has helped cement my knowledge and confidence when it comes to the physical and mental safety of our little ones. Mini First Aid offers everything a parent, carer, grandparent, anyone who has close contact with children would wish to learn to help keep them safe. I can not wait to get started! Claire. X
