Simple, flexible and cost-effective childcare vouchers
Childcare vouchers are a Government scheme aimed at helping working parents. Families can save hundreds of pounds every year by using childcare vouchers, with extra savings if both parents take part.
Employers also benefit from childcare vouchers, both in financial terms and by enjoying the advantages of being family-friendly. With fast scheme set-up, a fully-managed service and all the support you need, KiddiVouchers helps employers make the most of childcare vouchers.
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
- Complement your existing employee benefits package and help you to be a family-friendly employer
