Hi, I’m Kerry Bunting, a mum first and foremost, and the founder of Emberiza Mini’s, which I run alongside our family business, Emberiza Training Services.
Like so many parents, becoming a mum completely changed my outlook on life. I’m a single mum to my lovely little girl, who is currently being assessed for autism, and our journey together has taught me just how quickly everyday moments can turn into heart-in-mouth ones. From weaning and first steps to tumbles, bumps, and those moments when you just wish you felt a bit more prepared — parenting really does keep us on our toes.
That’s where Emberiza Mini’s began.
I wanted to create something that genuinely supports families within the community — a safe, welcoming place where parents, grandparents, and carers can learn essential skills without feeling overwhelmed or judged. No one should ever feel alone or unprepared when it comes to their child’s safety.
We offer paediatric first aid sessions in friendly, local venues, designed with real family life in mind. Our classes cover everything from CPR and AED use to dealing with common childhood accidents like cuts, burns, and bumps. We keep sessions relaxed, approachable, and as personal as possible, and where we can, we tailor them to the needs and questions of those attending.
As a small, family-run business, keeping our training accessible and affordable is really important to us. We’re proud to work alongside other local, often women-led businesses and community spaces to help make vital first aid education available to more families.
At the heart of Emberiza Mini’s is a simple aim — to create a kind, inclusive space where families can learn, build confidence, and leave feeling reassured and empowered.
Thank you for taking the time to read a little about us. I’d love to welcome you to one of our sessions and be part of your family’s journey 🤍
