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
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.

- 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
- 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.
