Childcare Vouchers Question

sunshine_1988

Hello
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Myself and my OH are going to claim the maximum amount of childcare vouchers, £486 between us.

On a 4 week month our nursery fees will be £438. Can the remaining £48 be carried over to the next month? As on a 5 week month our nursery fees would be £547, so could we use the previous months remainder to top up?

Thanks, and I hope that makes sense! x

Ask the nursery but my childcare provider used to do this for me.

They have long expiry dates so you can save them if you don't use them all to begin with: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/childcare-vouchers

If you have an e-voucher account you just send the amount for the month and keep the rest in your online account. So when its a five week month just change the amount and the extra money will be sitting there from the previous month(s).

Mine works like 'mini' bank account. Your childcare account is credited with the amount you buy each month and then you pay the childcare provider whatever amount you owe that month. If you have credit in the account it just stays there until you need to use it (my vouchers are via Co-Operative Childcare).
