More and more progressive, family-friendly employers are recognising the needs of their employees who are working parents. Many are helping their staff pay for quality childcare by providing Happy Days Childcare Vouchers.

They let parents make genuine savings on the cost of childcare through a reduction in their National Insurance and Income Tax Contributions. Parents will use them to pay you for all or part of the cost of their childcare in the usual way.

Happy Days Childcare Vouchers can be used to pay for a variety of childcare.

Under the Children (NI) Order 1995, those who care for children under 12 are required to be registered with the Health and Social Services Board or Trust.

For Children Under 12
(Carers requiring registration)

• Registered childminder
• Crèche
• Day nursery
• Playgroup
• Breakfast / After school club
• Out of School Clubs / Summer schemes

For Children 12 and over

• Carers at parents discretion - can be childminder, relative, or other
• Out of School Scheme / Summer Scheme

For more information on registration contact your local Health and Social Services Trust.

Vouchers are just like cheques, non-transferable and payable only to you. When you send the vouchers to us by Freepost or call our freephone number, we will redeem them by bank transfer or cheque on the day of receipt.

Happy Days Childcare Vouchers are a safe, reliable payment method which will make quality childcare more affordable.

Happy Days Childcare Vouchers are a simple and effective way for you as a progressive employer to help your staff with their childcare costs.

It makes sense to recognise that many employees are also parents. For an employer who wants to recruit and retain staff, improve motivation and loyalty, Happy Days Childcare Vouchers are a flexible benefit that can be of real value to your employees.

Happy Days Childcare Vouchers are exempt from Income Tax and employee and employer National Insurance Contributions up to a limit of £55 per week or £243 per month when you provide your staff with the opportunity to take them as a salary sacrifice.

Your staff normally pay for their childcare from their net pay. So when they opt to take part of their gross salary as Happy Days Childcare Vouchers, they can save 33% on their childcare costs up to the limit (standard rate taxpayers). You will save on your National Insurance costs as a bonus!

This means you do not have to think about setting up and running workplace nurseries or childcare facilities. Happy Days Childcare staff can provide your employees with assistance in finding out about childcare facilities to suit their needs.

Happy Days staff have experience in developing practical and pragmatic family friendly solutions that can support your business. We will work with you to launch and promote the Happy Days Childcare Voucher service. And as we carry out most of the work when the service is running, your administration is minimal.

Why wait - enjoy the benefits now. Contact us now on FREEPHONE 0808 100 2991
