Childcare Vouchers Latest News
A campaign has begun to establish minimum standards in childcare voucher provision.
Vouchers 4 Kids will fully support this consultation with employers and childcare representative bodies such as the Daycare Trust, to gather opinions on how best to administer childcare vouchers, come up with more effective payment methods and how to protect parents' payments.
Resulting from this Vouchers 4 Kids will embace a Code of Practice that will clearly set out a standard of service for employers and parents. It will operate on a voluntary basis but is intended to be a ‘quality mark' for the industry.
Purnima Tanuku, chief executive of the National Day Nurseries Association, Says: "We believe a set of industry standards will be a welcome step forward in ensuring the system works effectively for all involved and look forward to learning more about this as part of the consultation process."
