Making Childcare More Affordable

 

Childcare can be a big expense, below are a number of ways you may be able to get help with the costs.  We are registered to accept the Nursery Education Funding and childcare vouchers.

Childcare Vouchers

 

Childcare vouchers are paid to you by your employer as a salary sacrifice.

 

Basic rate tax payers and those who joined the scheme before 6 April 2011 can receive up to £243 per month of vouchers, tax and NI exempt.

 

Higher rate tax payers who joined the scheme on or after 6 April 2011 will only receive £124 per month tax and NI exempt.

 

Additional rate tax payers who joined the scheme on or after 6 April 2011 will only receive £97 per month tax and NI exempt.

 

Please inform us of the voucher company your employer uses and we will give you code so you can get set up.
