Is this the right policy for me?

This policy has been designed for sessional and full day pre-schools, playgroups, kindergartens and creches. Our Preschool insurance is for registered and unregistered care providers looking after children aged up to 5 years.

What's covered?

We regularly review the marketplace, monitoring and tracking the development and requirements of the preschool industry. Our Preschool policy provides you with:

Public Liability insurance can help your business cover the costs of claims from third parties for injuries or loss.

There is no cover for fines, penalties and putative awards, and sports involving weapons. You must follow all relevant statutory requirements and take all reasonable precautions to prevent a loss.

Employers' Liability covers the cost of compensating employees who are injured at or become ill through work due to employers’ negligence.

You must take all reasonable precautions and comply with all relevant statutory requirements and you are not covered for fines penalties and punitive awards. 

Legal Expenses is a way to help your business get access to legal support when you need it. It covers the costs of a legal dispute either made by or against you. It also provides a range of helplines for expert advice on business related legal and tax matters including employment law disputes.

You will not be covered for any claim with a less than 50% prospect of success, legal costs and expenses incurred without the insurers consent and claims not notified in a reasonable time. Helplines are subject to fair and reasonable use.

Business Interruption covers you for loss of income during periods when you cannot carry out business as usual due to an unexpected event. 

You will not be covered for loss caused by damage excluded by the Property Damage section and if your interest in the business ceases other than by death or the business is wound up, insolvent or permanently discontinued.

Professional Indemnity insurance is designed to protect you if a client or customer of yours loses money because of advice or services you've offered in connection with your business.

You will not be covered for claims or circumstances that you are aware of or that have been or should have been reported to a previous policy, bodily injury or property damage other than as provided for under Loss of or Damage to Documents.

Product liability insurance protects you if your business’s products cause injury or damage to people or property. 

You will not be covered for damage to products or the cost of making good or recalling such products or the cost of rectifying defective work whether incurred by you or others.

These are just some of the significant features, policy benefits, exclusions and limitations of the policy. Please see the policy summary guide for more details. Full terms and conditions can be found in the policy wording.
