Childcare Vouchers Schemes

[Louise317]

I was just wondering, with the vouchers do I need to set up with a variety of companies or do I wait until a parent requires it and up with that company ?

Thank you in advance

i just register with companies as and when parents require me to be registered! ( if i am not already! )

i also make sure that i only get paid by online transfer through the voucher companies. tried using paper vouchers and having to redeem them myself and it was a real faff! so much easier to get paid online!

This is what I do too. It's usually pretty straightforward and quick to register.

I plan to register as I go along. I've looked at a few websites for vouchers and it seems really straightforward to sign up.

I thought this would be the case but had mad panic this morning haha
obviously dreaming again!!

Can my sister pay me using Childcare vouchers as I am a registered provider?

The information on the various sites related to vouchers is contradictory - it says you can't pay family members with them, but you CAN use them for a registered provider. However, I am both a family member AND a registered provider.

Have answered my own question - yes!
