- Do you accept Childcare Vouchers?
Yes, we accept Childcare Vouchers. To see if you are eligible for Tax Free Childcare please click here. Some employers include Childcare Vouchers as part of the remuneration package offered to their employees. These vouchers can be used against childcare provision such as nursery and holiday club sessions.
Please note that these methods of payment can be used in conjunction with the Early Years Funding.
Tax free childcare is a popular form of payment for Nursery and Pre Prep fees up to the point when your child is aged 5 or over at the start of an academic term. However, due to HMRC restrictions and the practicalities of administration, once the pupil is aged 5 at the start of an academic term then childcare vouchers can only be used for Holiday club.
