Childcare Vouchers

Childcare vouchers are a way in which employed parents can save money on childcare costs. If your employer offers a childcare voucher scheme you may be able to choose to have some of your salary paid in childcare vouchers or to have childcare vouchers as part of your package of benefits. They save you money because they are exempt from tax and National Insurance contributions.

Contact us for more information on Freephone 0800 015 1120 or speak to your employer.
