Terms & Conditions

The public liability insurance is available to individual Childcare.co.uk gold members in the childminder, nanny, private tutor, maternity nurse and nursery nurse categories only. Once you are covered under the policy, any changes to your Childcare.co.uk account that would disqualify you from the cover, will result in your cover immediately expiring. If your gold membership expires then your cover will immediately cease. When submitting your details to apply, you must provide your correct full name and full address. If you change your name or address you must let us know immediately. Applications with invalid or non-current names and addresses will not be valid and you will not be covered. Cover is available for individuals only and not providers working in partnerships or companies.
