Childcare vouchers
Our Childcare Voucher Scheme
Due to government changes our Childcare Vouchers Scheme had to close to new joiners or those who had exceeded a 12 month break from the 4th October 2018.
New parents now have the choice of using:
The government’s Tax Free Childcare Scheme
The University’s Workplace Nursery Scheme
Our scheme
How can I save money by using the KiddiVoucher's scheme?
Your savings will depend on the amount of childcare vouchers you order and the amount of tax and National Insurance you normally pay. Childcare voucher legislation changed in April 2011, so your savings will also depend on whether you joined the University’s childcare voucher scheme before or after this date.
What can childcare vouchers be used for?
Childcare vouchers can be used to pay for many kinds of childcare, including: nurseries, playgroups and pre-school; registered childminders; after-school clubs and breakfast clubs; holiday play schemes and nannies and au-pairs.
What are the scheme rules?
Please visit the KiddiVoucher's link for the full scheme rules (as at 5 April 2015).
