With the recent introduction fo Tax Free Childcare, parents are asking whether this is more beneficial than the Childcare Voucher scheme already in place.

Please remember too that Childcare Vouchers are due to close to new entrants from April next year so if this option suits your circumstances better then be sure to register for them (through your employer) before the deadline.
