North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) has teamed up with Toddler Fun Learning to produce a fact filled, fun video about ambulances and the wonder of technology means the animated presenter could join the crew.

‘Gecko’, the chirpy reptile, is a regular presenter of children’s films and in this video, he meets ambulance crew, Paul Dunbar and Terry Allen, from Liverpool.

After showing viewers around the vehicle, he then shifts to North West Ambulance Service’s new logistics centre in Haydock.

In the huge new garage there, Gecko watches mechanics fix ambulance lights and sirens and explains why the ambulances need a special garage, while his friend Blue Mechanical gets a bit of a soaking from one of the staff.

The video is one of a series by Toddler Fun Learning, based in Merseyside. Toddler Fun Learning is an educational App and YouTube channel for children aged one to six, with Gecko’s Real Vehicles one of the many shows that they make. Each episode features a different vehicle and teaches children facts about them whilst also meeting the crew who operate the vehicle . The team approached NWAS about featuring an ambulance and filming took place with a paramedic crew earlier this year.
