Your Local Authority decide which course you need to do, usually CYPOP5. Also you need 12-hour paediatric first aid, and Local Authority will tell you which course providers they endorse so you really do need to phone them, it differs from one county to the next. Also ask them about safeguarding course and anything else they require you to do like food hygiene.
