Employer's saving on National Insurance 

In today's financial environment can you afford not to offer this benefit to help your staff for help with childcare costs? You will pay no employer's NI on the employee's sacrifice equating to a maximum saving around £31 per month per employee. See Employer page for more details.

Employee savings on TAX / NIC

Parents can commit to regular payments up to £243 (depending on the tax rate applied to their salary) through salary sacrifice. These payments are exempt from National Insurance contributions (NIC) and Tax. This will make a saving of up to £1,196.00* pa per parent. No need to get involved with paper vouchers as the E voucher is paid directly to the approved or registered childcare provider’s bank account. Our scheme's costs are offset by the NIC benefit and supports children in our community. See Parent page for more details.

If you would like to participate in the voucher scheme or would simply like to know more, please ring our free phone number on 0800 019 4590 or drop us an email from our contact page.

*based on salary with basic tax rate applied.
