Where have you heard that?
Big problem for me (and others) if so as I've two parents who pay me this way.
Any ideas?

As far as I'm aware "childcare" vouchers will be scrapped & replace with "care" vouchers - these can also be used for the disabled & elderly...which IMHO is a good thing.

Mine all pay with vouchers, hopefully it's just a change of name thing.

It shouldnt affect children currently using vouchers and I dont think this comes into effect until 2015 ??? Also the children who's parents do use this payment method will be in school by then anyway, so I wouldnt worry to much.
