... simple, flexible and ethical childcare voucher schemes
Childcare vouchers are a Government scheme aimed at helping working parents. Families save up to £2,391 a year by using childcare vouchers, while employers save up to £373 a year per scheme member.
How do childcare voucher schemes work?
Childcare voucher schemes normally work through salary sacrifice, which means parents can opt to receive childcare vouchers instead of part of their salary. Occasionally, employers choose to give childcare vouchers to their staff in addition to their usual pay. In both cases, the vouchers are free of tax and national insurance for parents and employers.
What can childcare vouchers be used for?
Childcare vouchers can be used to pay for many kinds of childcare, typically including:
Nurseries, playgroups and pre-school
Registered childminders
After-school clubs and breakfast clubs
Holiday play schemes
Nannies and au-pairs
What are the benefits of setting up a childcare voucher scheme?
As well as saving money for parents and employers, childcare vouchers can:
Help you to attract and retain high quality staff
Make it more financially viable for mothers to return to work after maternity leave, reducing the costs of staff turnover
