How many children aged under three should childminders and nursery staff be allowed to look after at the same time?
A relaxation in the number of pre-school children that nurseries and registered childminders can oversee has been announced in order to professionalise the pre-school workforce and cut the cost of childcare in England.
Supporting your staff with their childcare needs can benefit both you and your employees. The benefits of employer-supported childcare can include better recruitment and retention of staff, reduced absenteeism, a more motivated workforce, as well as financial savings for you and your employees.
You can help your staff with their childcare costs by offering a childcare voucher scheme. This can be administered externally, by a voucher provider company, or internally by running a self-administered scheme. You can also pay your employees' childcare provider direct by offering a directly-contracted childcare scheme. Information about all of these situations is provided in our factsheets for employers (see below). You will also find information about salary scarifice.
If you are a voucher company and would like the opportunity to have your details listed here, email cjoseph@daycaretrust.org.uk.
