Childcare Vouchers

For Employers

NECC Childcare is a flexible, expertly-supported salary sacrifice scheme that enables your staff to save hundreds of pounds on their childcare costs. Each parent can receive £55 of childcare vouchers per week before tax. These are redeemed for children up to the age of fifteen at any registered childcare provider.

A parent on a basic rate of tax can save over £900 each year. The employer will save over £150 in NI contributions per employee each year - and that’s after all service charges.

How does it work?

• You agree to let your staff enjoy the savings
• They complete some simple forms
• We set up the salary payment arrangements with you
• The vouchers are sent to the employees address
• These are used in part or full payment for the childcare provided
• We reimburse the childcare provider

With our childcare vouchers experts on hand you know that help for you and your staff is only a phone call away. Quite simply, NECC Childcare allows you to enhance your staff benefits package while reducing your employment costs. This is why hundreds of companies in the North East have chosen to offer this great deal to their workforce.

"The NECC Childcare scheme is a fantastic employee benefit, and both employer and employee are able to make significant financial savings through it. It is really easy to set up and we have had regular contact from NECC since we joined in May last year, and have encountered no problems. I would definitely recommend the scheme to other businesses."
