Yes I was just wondering if they contribute to anything like childcare vouchers
Your workplace? No I wouldn't have thought so, I've never heard of that.
Sometimes hospitals have a nursery on site as such and give a little discount for the NHS staff x
My hospital has an on site nursery that allows you to pay by salary sacrifice if you’re a staff member which does save you a bit as it comes out of pre tax salary (although this can impact pension contributions)
@Tor does this work out any better than tax free childcare from the government though?
@Shareace I don't work in hospital work in community health centres.
I work for the same trust & I don't think they contribute to chilcare. My little one goes to nursey 3 days a week & I work full time.
My trust doesn’t have anything apart from the usual government schemes for everyone. They have an onsite nursery but it isn’t brilliant and community staff struggle to get in and out on time to drop off. I would say it is mildly cheaper
@Charley depends on your personal tax circumstances and also your total nursery costs as to whether it would work out better but it’s probably something to consider and do the maths on if available
The NHS offer a discount price at some nurseries and you also get priority with the waitlist. I work for the community but our office is at a hospital where there is a nursery and they have a discount rate there’s also two others in the area. If you have a look on the intranet you’ll Be able to see what’s in your area xx
The government provides funding hours for children of working parents. there isn't anything specifically for NHS Parents
