Astroplast Mezzo First Aid Kit review
Astroplast Mezzo Childcare First Aid Kit
By Tom Calder
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.
- Best for
- Nurseries, childminders and family homes that want a ready-made, HSE-guidance-based first aid box sized for a small childcare setting.
- Skip it if
- You're kitting out a larger setting like a primary school or big nursery chain

Researched, not used. We haven't used this product. This review is built from the maker's specifications, owner reports and our own sizing.
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.
