Workplace Nursery Benefit

[tootingdad1]

Hi all!

Has anyone here used the workplace nursery benefit (where your employer partners with a nursery through whichever scheme provider and the nursery fees come out of gross salary)? I cannot seem to find any mention of it on any GOV website and frankly it seems too good to be true! The savings over paying directly will be something like >£5k per year for the nurseries we are looking at so obviously would love to take advantage as my employer offers it, but just wondered if there were any strings attached or if it wasn't as brilliant as it sounds?

If anyone has used the scheme before it would be great to hear as i cannot see anything online really!

Thanks in advance!

Your husband's employer would be paying to the third-party workplace nursery scheme provider and then the employer will deduct this payment (or maybe a smaller payment? depending on how nice the employer wants to be) from his salary, as salary sacrifice, so he will not pay income tax or NI on that.

But the 20%, up to 2k/year tax benefit will not apply you're right, since the money will actually bypass your husband.

I think it's worth it but I haven't signed up yet. Maybe worth getting feedback from someone who has as well.

Hi all,
sorry to jump on an old thread @@imnottoofussed@tootingdad1 - does enjoy benefits for salary sacrafice can be applied to a childminder not a nursery? Do you know? My husband's company uses https://www.workplace-nursery.net/, and when they contacted my childminder fully Ofstead registered - told her that it is not applicable to childminders...Any of you know this benefit conditions??
Thank you in advance

No just nursery only
