This is all giving me much to think about as until this forum I had only ever heard/been told of NCMA and strongly advised by tutor of DHC that NCMA is the only one worth considering as they ONLY deal with CM and their insurance is tailored just for CM. He dissmissed MM (He actually is a tutor/assessor/Iv-NVQ/DHC and his wife's registered assisstant) Looking at the poll though so far mainly use MM

Now although I have been a member of NCMA for years and Been on Committees in various roles and have their Public Liablity and Employers Insurances.

I would not touch their broker Blufin with a barge pole. They left me, unknowingly, without car insurance for 4 months, yes I was driving the car in this time, we went to Dorset on holiday and I was driving Mindees around, and I am not the only one

I was in tears when I discovered, by accident what had happened and if I hadn't had to phone them goodness knows how long I would have been in that situation. I have been driving since 1973 and had my own insurance since 1983 and have never been put in this position before.

I do feel they try to frighten people into thinking that they are the only insureres to cove Childminders properly and this is simlply not true. There are many other insurance companies who do this and apart from the year (well 8mths!) I was with Motor Minder I have been with Churchill for years for both car and house insurance.

I am with NCMA and have my contents insurance through Bluefin, it is the most competitive policy I have ever had and I have made a claim and never had a problem.

WOW, this thread was so informative, i am a member of NCMA and also have my PL with them, but think when it comes up for renewal i will prob go with MM for my PL, but what happens as regards to the contracts you already have with NCMA, are they still ok or do you have to do another contract with MM?

You can continue to use your NCMA contracts, MM contracts or write your own (correctly legally worded) with MM. If transferring their is a 3 month wait for the non paying parents part of the cover is valid to ensure that you are not transferring to them with parents in arrears. New contracts are covered immediately if they are new parents with no arrears

Thanx Tulip, i have a while before i need to think about it seriously but i don't think it is to early to consider your choices xx

I changed from NCMA to MM after 14 years.

The fact that they made someone return a deposit that was given to hold a place, due to the fact the placement had not started was the last straw.

They really need to see things from the minders point of view for a change.
