Voucher benefits

It is with great interest that I read the many comments from childcare providers on Nursery World's letters page with regard to the Government's childcare voucher scheme. As providers of such a scheme, we fully appreciate the problems it must cause nurseries in dealing with a multitude of childcare voucher providers. As well as ensuring that the nurseries are paid electronically on the same day of every month, and with each payment being individually referenced to the child concerned, we also provide a system whereby if the nursery chooses us as their 'preferred childcare provider' and is willing to use our promotional literature with their parents, we will give them a cut of our fee.

Although this is a low-margin, high-volume business, at least we offer nurseries the opportunity to make some financial gain from the vouchers, and also give them a chance to market the childcare voucher scheme in an organised and productive manner.
