Do any cms take Busy Bees vouchers?

[tissy]

Work has just started offering them, six years after I suggested it to them!

Poster says that they are "suitable for most types of childcare" and doesn't specify an age limit or anything else.

Dd goes to a cm before and after school, and some of the holidays, so is it worth pursuing?I've heard of them used by nurseries, but not heard of cms accepting them.

Absolutely - all registered childminders can use these. I take them with one of mine

I do

oooh...both dh and I work for the NHS, so we are both eligible, so I should definitely suggest this to our cm, then.

What happens at your end; do you pay them into the bank, or redeem them somehow? Is it problem-free, or fraught with difficulty and a PITA?

I get a voucher monthly, phone it in and it usually takes 3-5 days to process/reach my account. It's usually fine for me, never had an issue other than taking a bit longer and they took a while to get me signed up/going.

yes

and so can nannies (i get them)
