Astroplast Mezzo Childcare First Aid Kit review

Nurseries, childminders and family homes that want a ready-made, HSE-guidance-based first aid box sized for a small childcare setting.

By Tom Calder · Price last checked 20 Sep 2026, 12:29 BST · price-tracked

Our verdict
4.3 / 5

A sensible, no-frills childcare first aid box: child-friendly plaster sizes, a digital thermometer and instant ice pack, all in a wall-mountable case. It won't cover a large school on its own, but for a home, childminder or small nursery it's a solid one-off buy.

As an Amazon Associate, PreparedBritain earns from qualifying purchases. We may earn a commission when you buy, or a fee when you request a quote, through our links — it never affects what we recommend. Amazon prices come from Amazon's own product data and show the date and time they were retrieved. Prices at other retailers are checked by us, less often. Prices and stock can change at any time, so always check the retailer's price before you buy.

What we like
  • HSE-guidance-based contents specifically chosen for childcare settings
  • Includes a digital thermometer and instant ice pack alongside the usual dressings
  • Wall-mounting bracket and clearly organised, labelled contents
Worth knowing
  • No medicines included (correct UK first-aid-kit practice) — you'll still need liquid paracetamol/ibuprofen separately, dosed per NHS guidance, not this kit
  • Contents get used up or expire and need checking/restocking periodically — it's not a buy-once-forget item

Who shouldn't buy this

Don't buy this if you're kitting out a larger setting like a primary school or big nursery chain — step up to a larger BS 8599/HSE-rated kit rather than running several Mezzo boxes side by side. Also skip it if you need something portable for a grab-bag: this is a rigid wall-mounted box, not a carry kit — decant contents into a pouch or buy a smaller soft-sided kit instead.
