Childcare vouchers
We're working with a new voucher provider!
We will be changing our childcare voucher provider from 1 May 2013 to Fideliti. If you are currently a member of the existing care-4 scheme, please refer to our FAQs to assist you with the move to Fideliti.
How do childcare vouchers work?
Under a childcare voucher scheme you are able to take a portion of your salary as childcare vouchers, which are not subject to tax and national insurance deductions. This is referred to as a salary sacrifice scheme. Please note that by joining the scheme you are agreeing to a change in your terms and conditions of employment.
Vouchers are available to eligible staff who use Ofsted registered childcare providers for children from 0 - 16 years old.
Once you have joined the scheme you can use an e-voucher/electronic scheme, where you have access to a 'virtual account' online.
You can also select auto-pay vouchers which enable you to specify a date and payment amount for automatic payments to your childcare provider each month. You can choose to receive up to the current maximum amount (currently £243 or £124 of vouchers per month, depending on your tax bracket).
How do I join Fideliti?
You can register online via the Fideliti website or call the Fideliti helpline on: 0800 288 8727. Please quote our Employer Scheme Reference UNI9778.
