childcare vouchers

[elaineg]

If the worst happens and we become deregulated and parents are unable to pay us using tax credits, does anyone know if the same will apply to childcare vouchers the parents receive from their employers?

Most of my parents use childcare vouchers at the moment to pay for some of this fees.

Yes it would apply then also as in order to pay with childcare vouchers the money must go to a registered childminder. All of my parents use them too so I'm hoping that if it does go to deregulation there will still be a way for parents to pay us using them.
