How a Multi-Centre Childcare Group Saved Thousands with a Tailored Insurance Review

a group of children form a circle

Background

Partnering with a large group

This large group operating across two states on the Eastern seaboard approached Early Learning Solutions (Au) insurance specialist for a comprehensive review of its existing policies and the insurance premiums currently being paid. Given the size of the group, any incremental savings on its group costs would result in significant profit uplift.

Challenge

Growing pains

The group had scaled significantly in recent years and always accepted- without question- the insurance policy it was provided by its insurer.

With rising interest rates and inflationary pressures, the group executives also had a mandate to derive savings on its total cost base. The group needed expert guidance to reduce costs while ensuring adequate coverage. We delivered.

The group was pleased to find out that the overall insurance premium costs was lower than the previous year’s combined cost.

Solution

Our proven process at scale

As always, our specialist insurance provider undertook a comprehensive, consolidated assessment of all the insurance policies across all of the centres, with consideration to the size and location of each.

After a thorough review and list of recommendations presented to senior management, it was approved to introduce a five-tenfold increase in particular covers spanning Theft, Machinery Breakdown, Spoilage of Goods and Accidental Damage.

Also to the surprise of key decision makers, and under the assumption that it was covered by local state worker’s compensation, the group recognised an underinsurance in personal accident cover, which would be required if any of the group’s over one hundred and fifty team members sustained serious injury on any of their sites. The group added this cover across all its centres.

Results

Marginal savings create $000s group savings

Satisfied it now had appropriate risk/insurance cover and a trusted insurance specialist to partner with on the continued pathway to scale, the group was also pleased to find out that the overall insurance premium costs was lower than the previous year’s combined cost.

These savings allowed the group to reinvest in staff training and centre improvements, further enhancing the quality of care for families. Additionally, the group now enjoys an annual rebate to offset future premium costs should it demonstrate strong claims history performance across its centres.
