Default news on child care vouchers

For All Grandparents interested in getting child care vouchers.

Have found out today how grandparents go about obtaining these vouchers from their children.

1. You apply to Ofsted
2. You present yourself as a voluntary carer
3.And you have to fulfull the CRB criteria

Hope this helps

Default child care vouchers

Runningman24

Child Care Vouchers are a means for paying for child care. The parents forego some of their salary which the govt. does not take tax on and I think tops it up.

I have been told that they can be claimed by g/p but there is a quite a rigmarole to go through. Also the parents have to be earning enough to sacrifice some of their salary.

I have put a internet address up and if you follow that you can then get details.
