Nursery insurance is a form of business insurance that is designed to protect nurseries and childcare facilities from various risks and liabilities specific to their industry. It can provide financial protection in the event of accidents, property damage, legal claims, or other unforeseen events that could impact the nursery's operations, reputation, and financial stability.

With the right insurance coverage in place, nurseries can focus on providing quality care to their children, knowing that they are protected against various risks and liabilities that may arise in the course of their operations.

When deciding what insurance and covers you need to protect your business, you should consider the following:

Nursery schools and childcare services are unique and require bespoke insurance to cover the range of risks that are faced daily. Nursery insurance is tailored to cover a wide range of exposures that could leave your business open to financial losses. Without the right insurance in place to protect your livelihood, you may be subject to claims against you that could impact the future of your business.

The specific insurance needs of a nursery will vary depending on its size, location, and other factors. At Premierline, we help nurseries assess their risks and determine the appropriate insurance cover required to protect the business.

Nursery and playgroup insurance can cover your buildings, equipment, clients, staff, and general trading activities. Covers to consider include:

  • Public liability – provides protection against claims made by members of the public who may be injured or suffer property damage.
  • Employers' liability – to protect against claims made by employees who may be injured or suffer illness as a result of their work.
  • Medical Malpractice - provides protection against claims of professional negligence by patients in your care.
  • Buildings cover – to cover for loss or damage to your premises.
  • Equipment, contents and stock – to reinstate your items and belongings.
  • Business interruption – to keep finances running when disaster strikes.
  • Business legal expenses – to cover the cost of legal expenses or defending your business against legal action.
  • Cyber liability - to protect against data breaches, cyber-attacks, and other online risks.
  • Directors and officers - can provide coverage for claims of mismanagement, breach of fiduciary duty and discrimination.

The cost of nursery insurance can depend on a number of things, including the scale of your business, the level of cover you require, and the other risks associated with the care industry.

It's important to speak with an insurance advisor to get an accurate estimate of the cost of insurance for your nursery or playgroup. At Premierline, we can help you understand the different factors that may affect the cost of insurance and provide you with a customised insurance policy that meets your unique needs and budget.
