Childcare Vouchers

Childcare Vouchers are the flexible, simple and cost effective way to cover your childcare costs. As a working parent the savings you can make is per person – so if your wife, husband or partner also chooses to take £55 per week in Childcare Vouchers you could double your household savings.  The vouchers are provided through your employer and can only be spent on childcare. 

To benefit from the Tax and National Insurance exemption your chosen childcare provider must hold either a current registration certificate or an approval certificate.  The approval organisations include the following:

• OFSTED (England)
• The Childcare Approval Scheme (Wales)
• The Voluntary OFSTED Childcare Register (England)
