What are Childcare Vouchers? 

 

An employee benefit available to all eligible working parents
Once an employer is registered with us, eligible working parents can exchange up to £243 per month (£55 per week) of their gross salary for Childcare Vouchers. The exchanged part of the salary is exempt from tax and National Insurance contributions. This allows parents to make savings of up to £1,196* per parent, per year on their childcare costs.

Childcare Vouchers can be used to pay for all types of childcare
Save money on 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.

A scheme offering a potential saving of £2,392* per year
Both working parents can claim Childcare Vouchers whether they work for the same or different employers. Provided the employer offers a Childcare Vouchers scheme, you could save up to £2,392* per family, per year.

A tax initiative
Launched in 1999, Childcare Vouchers are a scheme run by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
