Childcare vouchers - which ones to go for?

[vanimal]

Hi,

DH and I are both freelance, and want to set up childcare vouchers via our company.

I have taken the task on, and not getting far with it, client deadlines and MN not helping, as I don't get time for a proper look around.

Does anyone do this? If so, which company are you using to get your childcare vouchers from?

Just steer clear of **ing Busy Bees! Always late in paying, never call you back, never email you back.

Ah, that's good to know, thanks DrS.

Anyone else?

Agree with not Computershare (ex. Busy Bees).

The only company I can personally recommend is Edenred (ex. Accor), but I think they have a minimum tariff which will make them uneconomic for only 2 employees - do check though because that might have changed.

Otherwise, google turns up quite a few providers who promise no minumum fee, shop around! Alternatively you can either contract for childcare directly from the company (tricky), or set up a voucher scheme of your own, which is also tricky but these people have an 'off the shelf' scheme you can use for a small fee.

My boss uses saycarevouchers (was sodexho I think) and there are only three users in the company - no known problems.

Just wanted to clarify for OP and DrSeuss that Busy Bees Childcare Vouchers was acquired by Computershare in 2008 and re-branded to become known as Computershare Voucher Services in 2009.
The original founders of Busy Bees CV have just set up a new company called Busy Bees Benefits. They're part of the Busy Bees Group and are not connected in any way to Computershare.
