Insurance and risk advice for childcare and early learning.

Omnisure works with childcare centres, early learning providers, kindergartens and education businesses to manage the risks that come with caring for children, employing staff and operating highly regulated services.

Childcare risk brings together people, property, regulation and responsibility.

Childcare and early learning providers carry significant responsibility for the safety, wellbeing and development of children while managing staff, premises, compliance obligations and day-to-day operations.

Claims can arise from injury, professional services, employment matters, property damage, cyber incidents and the many operational risks involved in delivering care every day.

Omnisure takes the time to understand how your service operates, the children and families you support and the responsibilities carried by your organisation, helping build an insurance programme around the practical realities of early learning and care.

The right insurance programme should support the people, places and responsibilities at the heart of your service.

Childcare risk extends across every part of the service.

Early learning providers need to consider the safety of children, staff, premises, professional responsibilities and regulatory obligations together.

01.

Child and visitor safety

Children, families and visitors move through childcare environments every day, creating significant public liability and duty-of-care exposures.

02.

Professional responsibility

Educators and care providers can face claims relating to supervision, advice, development programmes and the delivery of professional services.

03.

Staff and workplace risk

Injuries, employment disputes, workers’ compensation and workplace safety all form an important part of the risk profile.

04.

Property and equipment

Buildings, play areas, learning resources, equipment and contents can be exposed to fire, storm, theft and accidental damage.

05.

Cyber and privacy

Childcare providers can hold sensitive information about children, families and staff, making data security and privacy an important consideration.

06.

Regulatory and governance obligations

Operators, directors and managers can face increasing responsibilities around compliance, governance and the management of the service.

Insurance solutions built around childcare and early learning.

The right programme will depend on the size of the service, the number of children and staff, the activities provided and the responsibilities carried by the organisation.
01.

Public Liability

Protection against claims involving injury or property damage arising from the operation of the childcare or early learning service.

02.

Professional Indemnity

Cover for claims arising from alleged errors, omissions or failures in the delivery of professional care, education or advice.

03.

Management Liability

Protection for directors, officers and the organisation against a range of management-related claims, investigations and employment matters.

04.

Property Insurance

Cover for buildings, contents, learning equipment, furniture and other assets used in delivering childcare and education services.

05.

Business Interruption

Protection designed to help manage financial loss if an insured event disrupts normal operations.

06.

Workers’ Compensation

Support for workplace injury risk, claims management and the obligations associated with employing educators and support staff.

A practical approach to managing childcare risk.

Childcare providers operate in a highly regulated environment where safety, people and service delivery are closely connected.

01.

Understand the service

We look at your operating model, staff, premises, activities and responsibilities before recommending cover.

02.

Consider the full risk picture

Property, liability, professional services, employment and cyber risks can overlap. We consider how these exposures work together.

03.

Review as the service changes

New locations, increased enrolments, additional staff and changes to programmes can all alter your risk profile. We help keep cover aligned as the organisation evolves.

Specialist advice for childcare and early learning providers.

Childcare insurance needs to reflect both the complexity of the organisation and the responsibility that comes with caring for children.
Sector understanding

We take the time to understand the specific risks, responsibilities and operational pressures faced by childcare and early learning providers.

Tailored programmes

We build insurance around the service you actually provide rather than relying on a generic business package.

Responsive support

When questions, changes or claims arise, our team is available to help explain the cover and keep the process moving.

Ongoing programme review

As your service grows or changes, we help review the programme so it continues to reflect your current operations and exposures.
