Is this the right preschool insurance policy for me?
We understand your business will often have a variety of specialised needs. Our Preschool insurance policy is designed for UK-registered, sessional care providers for children on non-domestic premises including preschools, Montessori schools, playgroups, and kindergartens, creches and smaller nurseries that do not require or wish to benefit from the additional sections of cover and higher inner limits provided under the nursery policy.
To assist you in selecting the policy that's most suitable for your needs, a full comparison of the limits and covers provided under the Nursery and Preschool policy can be found in our policy comparison document.
