LifeVac at Banana Moon Caterham: Strengthening Safety for Every Child
LifeVac is a non-powered suction device designed for rare choking emergencies. It is only used when standard first aid—back blows and abdominal thrusts—has been attempted without success. If a child becomes unconscious, LifeVac may be used as a final step before CPR while waiting for emergency services.
- Approved by the MHRA (UK), FDA (USA), and other international regulators
- CE marked and registered as a Class 1 medical device
- Designed as a single-use emergency tool, not a replacement for paediatric first aid training
We were honoured to welcome Lewis Steeper to our nursery, who shared the story of his son, Oliver Steeper, who tragically passed away in 2021 following a choking incident at nursery. Lewis and his wife, Zoe, have since established The Oliver Steeper Foundation, which provides LifeVac devices to Ofsted-registered early years settings.
- Accessible and ready: Devices are located in central areas with wall-mounted instruction posters
- Trained staff: All relevant team members have completed accredited LifeVac training, aligned with our paediatric first aid cycle
- Routine safety checks: Devices are inspected regularly and replaced as needed
- On-site defibrillator through the Little Hearts, Bright Futures campaign
- Comprehensive first aid and incident reporting procedures
