Mine arrived last Friday

I have just registered so I dont know about this, can any body fill me in?

**Mouse** · 02-02-2011, 02:46 PM

I had my pack arrive last week. Last year I collected for other minders in my cm group. They collected their tokens & I put the order in for them. Saved them having to mess around with trying to register.

Yes I got mine last week too

Jane - we can collect the Sainsburys Active Kids vouchers for free equipment for our settings. It can be a bit of a battle with them to register us as they weren't keen on childminder's registering last year but some of us managed it. I got about 800 vouchers last year which got me a few nice bits for my children. You can register for the Tesco scheme too - I did really well with those last year.

I have been shopping with them online for a while now - if they don't let me register this year - I will shop online with Tesco (who I AM registered with

)

Thanks Beetlejuice, I will look into this

I just rang them as there is no option for childminders to register on their website but they were fine about it - just asked me how many children I look after and said that vouchers would be in the shops from 9th Feb!

**samb** · 02-02-2011, 05:11 PM

Wow that would be great to get bits from those too. I will look into them both. What sort of things did you get? Do you choose depending on how many tokens you get? Not sure if I would get many but worth a try?

They send you a catalogue, some of the stuff you need thousands of vouchers for but there is lots that you only need a small amount so worth doing. Even if you don't get many you can "bank" them for the following years scheme.

Tesco's has more choice but both schemes are worth doing.

I had a huge box arrive with all sorts in.... one family brought me them last year but i thought that most of the equipment was aimed at schools and preferred the tesco scheme with lots to choose from and we;ve been banking empty print cartridges with tesco all year too..... 10 vouchers per cartridge from the list, must've collected about another 180 vouchers ready for this year!

If you look at ActiveKids online there are so many more resources that are not in the catalogue and are very cheap!!! I got SO much for my 900 vouchers last year!

Tesco is my nearest supermarket (& the one my parents are likely to use), so I have just phoned them and registered for their schools & clubs scheme.
Really easy to do, and the pack should be with me next week.

**judisteve** · 03-02-2011, 03:56 PM

Sainsburys wouldn't let me register but I got my Tesco pack this morning!!!

**SamBaker** · 03-02-2011, 04:06 PM

I have registered today with Sainsbury's no problem at all, can't wait for my pack!!

**Newbie1!** · 03-02-2011, 05:44 PM

I didnt know we could do this and despite the fact that this is going to sound dead sad.....I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!

However, could someone please tell me how to register for both Tesco and Sainsburys please!!!

It is quite exciting isn't it. Type in activekids or tesco schools in google and then ring the registration numbers on the sites and they will register you

**Newbie1!** · 04-02-2011, 02:45 PM

Woooohoooo registered with both today and have been able to go onto Tesco and print off a poster saying Im collecting as well as letterheads etc. It says on my Sainsburys email that I can do this on their site too but cant find where to do it, could anyone give me any pointers pls?? xxx
