This week learn more about our childcare support, our local and Perkz shopping discounts and holiday offers with Superbreak and the Travel Club

New York City

KiddiVouchers

Childcare vouchers provide an easy way for working parents to save on the cost of childcare. Suitable for children up to age 15, childcare vouchers can be used for a wide range of care, from nurseries and childminders through to holiday camps and breakfast clubs.  Did you know that your registration with our KiddiVouchers scheme gives you free access to Wider Wallet, a discount portal jam-packed with exciting offers?  More information on KiddiVouchers, our workplace nurseries and our family friendly policies are available on our childcare support pages.

Shopping

Within our local shopping discounts, Ryman has closed their precinct store while building works are ongoing.  But you can still access your 10% staff discount at Ryman in the Arndale Centre when you show your staff ID card.  Cotswold and Nevisports offer 15% off their range instore and online and Nod and a Wink offer a beautiful range of daytime, playtime and bridal lingerie with 25% discount. 

When you explore Perkz this month you will spot digital and instore discount codes for Virgin Wines (16%), Loch Fyne, Joules, Green & Blacks, BuyaGift.com plus numerous sports equipment retailers like Kitbag.
