For parents

Financial savings:

• Childcare vouchers up to the value of £55 a week are free from tax and National Insurance Contributions. The maximum saving is £1,195 per year - savings are relative to the parent’s tax and NI rates.

Managing childcare costs:

• Childcare vouchers can help a family budget for childcare costs - parents can monitor their childcare payments online.
• If both parents take the full amount of £55 per week, a family can receive £110 in vouchers per week and save up to £2,390 a year in childcare costs.

Simple and flexible payment for childcare:

• Childcare Choice vouchers work like online banking - parents have a personal e-voucher account allowing them to pay their carer when they want.
• Childcare Choice vouchers have a life of over 12 months so parents can save up vouchers to use at busier periods such as school holidays.
• Carers are paid directly into their bank accounts.
  

If you would like to receive Childcare Choice vouchers, your employer must register your company and place a voucher order each pay period. To inform your employer about the scheme, click here.
