Family Matters is one of the UK's leading providers of childcare vouchers and is a sister company to Early Years Childcare plc. All Early Years Childcare nurseries accept childcare vouchers and these can offer significant savings for most working parents.

As part of a Government initiative to help families with the work/life balance, there are tax and National Insurance savings for childcare costs. If you exchange part of your salary for childcare vouchers, you can save tax and NI contributions on the first £50 per week of your childcare costs. This benefit can be claimed by each parent/guardian.

Childcare vouchers can only be claimed through your salary, so you will need to check with your employer if there is a scheme in place. It can be simple for companies to introduce a voucher scheme and both parties can save money.

Childcare vouchers are widely accepted by nurseries, child minders, holiday playschemes etc, but the service provided must be offered by registered or approved carers.
