Vouchers used by parents to pay for all types of childcare
Childcare Vouchers can be used to pay for all types of registered childcare for children up to 16 years old, including day nurseries, nannies, au pairs, crèches, childminders, out of school clubs, holiday schemes, activity clubs and qualifying childcare offered by schools.

Working parents are entitled to exchange a portion of their gross salary for Childcare Vouchers, up to the value of £243 per month (£55 per week). Parents use their Childcare Vouchers to pay registered carers, who in turn redeem them through Computershare Voucher Services.

A government initiative
Launched in 1999, Childcare Vouchers are a government work-life balance scheme supported by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
