MANCHESTER, UK - 2 February 2026

Partou, one of the UK’s largest day nursery operators, has appointed Tigerlily Training as its approved paediatric first aid provider.

Established in 2004 and with a team of 175 trainers, Tigerlily delivers accredited courses to over 100,000 learners each year through a network of more than 100 training centres nationwide.

In addition to in-person training, Partou team members will have access to online refresher training to ensure their knowledge is kept fully up to date.

There will also be an opportunity for families with children at Partou nurseries to learn the basics of first aid under the guidance of Tigerlily Training professionals.

Simon Booth‑Liddle, Partou Head of People Experience, said: “Partou are really excited to be partnering with Tigerlily.

“Their approach to learning for everyone, including for parents, aligns incredibly closely with our value of continuous learning and our overall purpose.

“From all the reviews we took part in, Tigerlily offered the best in availability, locations and with administration support too.”

Samantha Rhodes, Partou Managing Director, said: “Tigerlily is a highly respected leader in first aid for the early years sector with an outstanding reputation for excellence.

“Its numerous training centres around the country means that Partou team members will in most cases have a short distance to travel to attend courses.

“As part of our agreement, first aid training will also be delivered at our nurseries over weekends.

“The health and wellbeing of the children will always be the absolute priority at every Partou setting. Our partnership with Tigerlily will serve to further bolster our commitment to providing the highest standards of care.”

Amber Parr, Tigerlily Training Founding Director, said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Partou to deliver their first aid training.

“It’s great to partner with a company that’s so passionate about equipping their teams with practical skills that help keep children safe, supported and cared for every day.”
