If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, it takes just a few minutes to check.
Using Childcare Vouchers
Some families may still use Childcare Voucher schemes through their employer. These vouchers can also be used towards eligible childcare services such as:
- After school clubs
- Wraparound care
- Holiday activity camps
If you currently receive childcare vouchers, you can usually apply them towards Progressive bookings. It can help families pay for one in every five booked sessions.
