The vouchers, called Busy Bees Benefits, are to be officially launched next Tuesday (9 November) and can be used from the beginning of December. They will form part of a new employee benefits package the company will offer to employers.
From Easter 2011, Busy Bees plans to offer additional services, such as eye-care vouchers and private health care, under the Busy Bees Benefits brand.
Speaking exclusively to Nursery World ahead of the launch, John Woodward, co-founder and group managing director of Busy Bees, said, 'We are going back into the childcare voucher market because there was an overwhelming demand, and we already have 20 companies signed up. We started the childcare voucher years ago to make childcare more affordable and we had a great reputation. These difficult economic times could continue for several years and we believe we should help out parents as much as possible. Many parents make real sacrifices to give their children the best start and childcare vouchers are an important benefit for lots of working families.
