Childcare vouchers from Busy Bees
Teachers are eligible from June 2006.
Do you pay for care of your children?
Do you pay income tax and national insurance?
If you answered yes to both, you could save yourself some money.
The government will allow you to have up to £55 each week (or £243 each month) paid to you as childcare vouchers instead of money. You will not pay tax and national insurance on the value of the childcare vouchers you choose. This means that the cost of the vouchers to you will be less than their value.
For more details, ring Busy Bees on 08000 430860. Or visit the Busy Bees website (external link) They can answer any questions you have and will send you a pack of information. This will include your order form and a pack for your child’s carer.
Please note: if you are expecting a baby and using childcare vouchers, you should stop using the vouchers between 17 and 25 weeks into your pregnancy. This is to protect your maternity benefits. Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) is worked out using your pay rate. As this would not include the value of your childcare vouchers your SMP amount would be lowered.

Any Children and Young People's Services employee wishing to access counselling through the Department should contact Alison Hibbert (Support Officer) on 01942 486094, internal 86094. All calls will be treated in the strictest confidence.
