Nursery Insurance

Nursery Insurance | Day Nursery Insurance | Nurseries Insurance

Whether you are a well established Nursery or are just starting out or thinking of going it alone in the Nursery World you can now see how much you can save by simply requesting an Online Nursery Insurance Quote.

As the owner or Manager of a Nursery, Pre-School, Kindergarten or Day Care facility you'll know just how important it is for you to get the right protection and peace of mind in the form of insurance cover.

    And just as a parent decides where to place their children by getting answers to certain questions, it's also possible that you need answers to these questions when choosing the right insurance provider for your establishment. Questions like:
  • Are they a quality establishment?
  • Do they have a good reputation?
  • Are they well established?
  • Are they local?
  • Are their staff friendly and approachable?
  • Do you trust them?
  • Will they provide you with peace of mind?

    If you want a provider of insurance for nurseries who can answer YES to each of the above questions then welcome to Northern Counties. When it comes to providing Nursery Insurance, Day Nursery Insurance or Nurseries Insurance we aim to:
  • PROVIDE YOU WITH QUALITY COVER SO YOU, YOUR STAFF, THE CHILDREN IN YOUR CHARGE AND YOUR PREMISES ARE ALL PROTECTED
  • Tailor a policy to your exact needs so you only pay for the cover you require
  • Offer you advice and guidance with the aim of reducing your exposure to risk
  • Rate your risk individually so you are rewarded for good health and safety
  • Save you time by searching the insurance market for you to find you the most suitable policy
  • Provide you with a fast, friendly and reliable service
  • Speak to you in a language you in understand using no jargon and not wasting your valuable time
  • SAVE YOU MONEY ON YOUR NURSERY INSURANCE. With our facilities with the UK's leading insurance companies (many on an exclusive basis) combined with our founder member status of The Broker Network (the UK's longest established commercial insurance broking association) you can benefit from excellent rates and cover which is not always available through other brokers or insurers.

To find out why Nurseries, Kindergartens, Pre-Schools and other Day Care providers continue to use Northern Counties for their nursery insurance needs you can either:

We look forward to hearing from you and making sure your business gets the protection it needs at the right price.

And with OFSTED performing hundreds of inspections and regulatory visits every week, risk assessment and the requirement for good health and safety and protection has never been more important.

    As well as providing you and your Nursery with the right nursery business insurance cover you may also be interested in the following:

What do parents look for in a Nursery?

Like with so many businesses having a USP (or unique selling proposition) for your Nursery could be the difference between getting parents to trust you with their children's care needs or not.

Your USP could be that you've achieved a good OFSTED rating or it could be that you're local. And as with other industries, knowing, understanding and acting on the needs of your customers will give you an advantage over other Nurseries.

    Here then are just a few things parents may look for when choosing a Nursery:
  • 1. OFSTED registered. If you are make sure your registration certificate and current certificate of insurance are displayed together in a prominent position. This will give parents added peace of mind.
  • 2. Are you a member of a professional organisation? Not only does being a member of organisations like the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) give you and your staff useful information but it also shows parents you are serious about their children's needs.
  • 3. Nurseries that have received recognition. Has your Nursery gained any kitemarks of excellence? Perhaps Investors in People, Investors in Children or the NDNA's quality counts. If so make sure the parents of your children and the parents of children looking to use your Nursery know about it.
  • 4. As well as insurance providers rewarding good health and safety parents will also be asking themselves a series of questions about your Nursery.
      Questions like:
    • a. Do you have a clean and safe outside play area?
    • b. Is your Nursery welcoming? Is it bright, clean and well decorated?
    • c. Is the equipment in the Nursery safe and clean?
    • d. What food do you provide? How often are your menu's updated? Can you cater for special diets?
    • e. Do your current children look happy?
    • f. Likewise do your staff look happy, calm, confident and relaxed and are they dressed well?
    • g. What are your staff to children ratios?
    • h. How much will it cost me and what will I get for my money? Will I have to pay extra for meals, nappies etc?

By having answers to these questions readily available to parents there's every chance they will place their children with you and recommend you to other parents.

Nurseries and OFSTED

As the inspectorate for children and learners in England the Office for Standards in Education (or OFSTED) job is to use inspection and regulation to provide better education and care.
