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 to pay 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
