PER CURIAM.

The point involved on this appeal is whether an ordinary homeowners insurance policy covered an injury to an infant, who was left with the homeowner who was running a nursery or babysitting service for compensation.

The trial judge found that the homeowner was engaging in a business activity and denied coverage. The policy contained the following business exclusion:

* * * * * *

"This policy does not apply * * * to bodily injury or property damage arising out of business pursuits of any insured except activities therein which are ordinarily incident to non business pursuits."

* * * * * *

Examining this exclusion in light of the facts as found by the trial judge, we find no error in his ruling and affirm. Boulevard National Bank of Miami v. Gulf American Land Corporation, Fla.App. 1968, 212 So. 2d 17; Hudson Pulp & Paper Corp. v. Butler & Company, Fla.App. 1974, 297 So. 2d 103; Walker v. Connolly, Fla.App. 1974, 299 So. 2d 67.

Therefore, for the reasons above stated, the final judgment here under review be and the same is hereby affirmed.

Affirmed.
