To not understand the difference between tax free childcare and childcare vouchers

[Butttons]

I'm really puzzled. We're considering changing nurseries for DC2. We currently both pay into the childcare voucher scheme which the current nursery accepts. The new nursery, which is ofsted registered, has informed us that they don't accept vouchers but use the tax-free scheme. I'm confused, does anyone know the difference? I've tried looking this up online but just keep getting more confused. Can anyone enlighten me please? Thanks

Weasel - be mindful tho that when you are thinking 'long term' you have to stay with the same employer now to continue to have childcare vouchers and the employer needs to continue offering childcare voucher... Quite a bet, of course depending on the age of the kids.
