I use Accor and Busy Bee but they're called something different now

Accor is Edenred and Busy Bee is Computershare.

I've used them both for over a year now and had no problems. I would make it clear to parents though that they remain responsible for payment if the voucher does'nt go through / is not received on time / or for whatever reason. Also make sure you allow 5 days for them to clear in enough time. I ask for them around the 23rd of the month then they clear in time for the 1st of each month.

yes you can have them monthly they are electronically sent over to your account, so when payday is due parents ring up or email and get the money released to you just need to be aware some can take up to 3 days to transfer into your account

They are an easy hassle-free method of payment and extremely cost-effective for the parent as the value is deducted from their pre-tax income. I have three different companies that I am registered with, Accor, care-4 and a new one that I hadn't heard of before called RG Childcare.

They all work fine - just remember that they usually take two or three days for the credit to appear in your bank account so if you need to ensure you have cleared funds on the 1st of the month, the parent will need to set the payment up so it goes out about 27th/28th of the preceeding month.

I have been using accor for about 4 years, never had any problems and it goes straight into my bankaccount so I'm not tempted to spend it:)

A parent can use up to £243 per month (over 12 months). My parent gets paid every 4 weeks so we get £220 every 4 weeks.

It is straight into your bank account and as good as cash
