As the longest serving insurance broker in your sector, you can trust us to deliver insurance protection that is designed to really work for you, your business and staff.
Is this the right insurance policy for me?
Our Agencies insurance policy is specifically designed for:
Unregulated Childcare Staff Agencies that specialise in providing childcarers. It caters for childcare staff placement agencies and childcare employment businesses, or agencies that both employ and place staff.
Childminder Agencies registered with Ofsted to register, train, inspect and regulate childminders. It caters for those agencies registering both nannies and childminders either as a placement agency, or as an agency that directly employs their childcarers or an agency that both employs and places childcarers.
Tutor Agencies who find placements for children’s tutors, whether they place self-employed tutors or utilise their own in-house staff.
