Following on from other threads - this is the information that I have already posted and checked with NCMA (MM customers might want to clarify with them)
taken from NCMA handbook08/9
cildminded children are covered when using garden play equipment providing the childminder is with the children at all times and is the person responsible for them. The childminder must also have written permission from the childrens parents
Right I have just phoned NCMA while I typed this (multitasking!!!) and the woman has clarified this for me.
yes our insurance covers us for trampolines (and all other garden play equipment) PROVIDING it is used in accordance with manufacturers guidelines - set up, maintenance etc, we have written permissions, we supervise correctly AND this is the biggie....
if a child under the age of the manufacturers guidelines is using the trampoline they are NOT covered by the insurance.
So I am guessing that child using play equipment not designed for their age group is also not covered by insurance as well (didn't clarify this bit)
