Hi
Just thought I would share this as I only heard about this the other day. Maybe you all know and it's just me that was slow on the uptake, but I thought I'd mention it in case anyone else didn't know.
Some companies (in the UK) allow you to get the benifit of a tax allowance scheme where you can be paid up to £243 a month, in childcare vouchers, which can be used at any Ofsted Nursery. These are deducted from your salary, prior to tax, so you can save up to £904 a year in tax if you use the full allowance.
This allowance is per parent / gaurdian so even if your company don't offer it, your partners compay might so it's worth getting them to check.
You can do this each, saving up tp £1800 a year!
How did I not know about this before... anyway thought I would just share this in case anyone else wasn't aware.
If your company don't offer it, you could always send your HR dept this link and see if they might consider it...
