Can KiddiVouchers be used for nannies, babysitters or care by relatives?

In England, childcare given in the child's own home by an Approved carer or by a carer from a Registered agency can be paid for using KiddiVouchers as long as the carer is not a relative of the child.

In Scotland, all childcare agencies including nanny and babysitter services are Registered and care provided by agencies in a child's own home is eligible as long as the carer is not a relative of the child.

Childcare provided by a relative away from the child's home can be paid for with KiddiVouchers as long as the relative is Registered or Approved and is also caring for unrelated children.
