Childcare Voucher Scheme
This is a government initiated scheme available from employers to support working parents in paying their childcare costs in a tax efficient way. Parents can order up to £243.00 per month - deductible from their salary before tax and national insurance, in exchange for vouchers. These vouchers can then be used to pay your fees at your Registered Childcare Provider. We accept a wide range of vouchers at Tiger Lily Day Nursery and are always willing to join with whatever company your workplace uses. However, your employer must offer the scheme in order for you to take part.
