How childcare vouchers can help parents save on childcare
Joining a childcare voucher scheme can help working parents save, as well as making it easier to budget for childcare.
That’s because employees don’t pay tax or National Insurance on childcare vouchers to the value of £55 a week. And it means a working parent can save as much as £1,195 a year – double, if both parents sign up for a childcare voucher scheme. And with the addition of a family discounts package to our Childcare Voucher scheme, we are able to offer your working parents big savings on shopping, days out, holidays and even childcare.
