What are the benefits for carers?
As Childcare Vouchers make childcare costs more affordable, this gives working parents the freedom to choose which childcare provider they would like to use for their children's childcare. The most common method for parents to receive Childcare Vouchers is via salary sacrifice; exchanging part of their salary for Childcare Vouchers. This will mean that childcare providers should get paid on time, as parents already have money set aside to pay their childcare costs.
