Specialist insurance for voluntary and charitable parent & toddler groups

Our Parent and Toddler Group insurance policy has been designed for voluntary or charitable organisations offering free play for children aged five years and under, where their parent, carer or guardians are responsible for their supervision at all times.

Is this the right policy for me?

If you provide instructor-led activities for children aged five and under, such as mini-gym, dance or sports coaching you should consider applying for Children’s Activity Providers or Children’s Sports Coaches insurance as these baby and toddler group insurance policies can prove to be vital protection when in unfortunate situations.

Do I need insurance for a mother and toddler group?

From time-to-time unfortunate eventualities can also arise that can seem unpredictable. Accident liability to equipment breakdown can cost your group essential funding which can carry financial implications. However, the flexibility of our insurance for parent and toddler groups can actively defend your organisation from a variety of circumstances, allowing you to focus on what really matters. Please refer to our policy summary and policy wording for more information.
