Launching A Childcare Voucher Scheme

The Busy Bees Childcare Voucher scheme is flexible and can be enjoyed by organisations of all sizes and types, from SMEs to large corporations. Below is a step-by-step guide showing how to launch a Childcare Voucher scheme:

  • Busy Bees visit an employer to assess their requirements and decide on the most effective parent marketing routes

  • Busy Bees liaises with employer Payroll and HR departments

  • Employer informs staff of launch using selected free Busy Bees marketing materials

  • Employer deducts ‘Salary Sacrifice’ from employees payroll on the agreed date

  • Payment is sent to Busy Bees

  • Vouchers are sent electronically or by post to parents

  • Parents pay their childcarer using Childcare Vouchers

  • Childcarer redeems vouchers through Busy Bees

 

The Childcare Voucher scheme has been very successful and a high number of our working parents have joined.
