Unlike Employers, it is not a legal requirement for a Nanny to have Public Liability Insurance. However, we do recommend that any Nanny placed by us have it in place for the duration of their employment.
It is amazing how many people we speak to who are uninsured and have never thought about it. In this day and age, it is something we believe you should seriously consider. We also discuss this with Clients and suggest that they request their Nanny is insured as well as ensuring they have a policy in place as this is a legal requirement.
We spoke to Morton Michel and they provided us with the following information about their service.
Morton Michel Nanny Insurance
Morton Michel is a specialist insurance broker and we have been trusted by early years professionals for over 57 years to provide insurance, risk management and service solutions

Why is insurance important for nannies?
Children face (and create) small risks every day! It’s important that nannies are insured,
so that if anything does happen, they can feel protected.
Our Nanny policy provides cover for a range of everyday scenarios, including injury to a
child by a nanny during activities such as a trip to the park or playing at home and
accidental damage to parent’s property.
Also, if you would like to register for the voluntary part of the Ofsted Childcare register
then public liability insurance is mandatory.
Morton Michel’s dedicated team of experts are trained to understand the challenges you
face every day and we want to assist you with your insurance requirements with our
specialist nanny policy.
