The Facts

Childcare Vouchers have changed. Parents can now save over £900 per year on their childcare costs by opting to receive some of their salary as childcare vouchers. Childcare vouchers are free from Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions. Both parents can take childcare vouchers which means a family could save up to £1800 per year.

Childcare vouchers can be used for a huge variety of child care for children up to the age of 15 - including the care element of boarding school fees, nannies, out of hours school clubs, summer camps and nurseries.
