What is the Voucher Scheme?        

                    

The Childcare Voucher Scheme is a Government scheme to help working parents with childcare costs. As an electronic voucher provider, Linking Up enables employers and parents to make savings on the cost of approved and registered childcare.

A payment equivalent to the salary sacrifice is then paid directly to the approved or registered childcare provider’s bank account.

How does the voucher scheme work?

The scheme Linking Up offers is electronic and paperless. The salary sacrifice amount is paid directly to Linking Up, who pay the childcare provider within four working days of receipt of payment.
