Childcare Voucher Scheme
Provided by Sodexo. The scheme operates by voluntary salary sacrifice where you can exchange part of your gross salary for Childcare Voucher Credit (up to £243 per month). Because the deduction is from gross salary, effectively you are using some of your tax and National Insurance contributions to meet your childcare costs. This can mean savings of up to £933 per year. For more information see www.saycarevouchers.co.uk and https://www.saycarevouchers.co.uk/index/parent-benefits-and-savings. The freephone number to call Sodexo with any queries, problems using the online system etc is 0800 328 7411.
