Children's Activities
Our Children's Activities policy is designed for people who organise kid’s clubs and activity groups to help with children's development or to provide entertainment. We cover most entertainment activities offered to children, including offering insurance for kid’s mindfulness clubs and soft play hire.
If in addition to delivering regular children's activities you provide adult-only sessions, this policy may still be suitable for you. This will depend on the frequency of your adult-only sessions and the type of sessions provided, so if you do provide any adult-only sessions please contact us to discuss your requirements.
If you provide sports coaching, please take a look at our Children's Sports Coaching insurance policy below.
