The Government childcare voucher scheme allows working parents to pay for childcare before tax is paid for. This means that parents reduce the cost of childcare by upto £903.96 per annum for a 20% tax payer and £1195.56 for a 40% tax payer. childcare vouchers are self-financing for the employer too, free for carers and free for parents.

In this way if my work had on site care, I could go to work with my children, keep breastfeeding, and visit during lunch! I'd be saving time, gas, and separation anxiety. Why don't more companies do this? Is it because they are run by men? How about asking more companies to step up to plate and offer on site daycare?

Only lately I realized that almost everyone with kids is in the same boat at some point! So I decided to log myself about it. For me, the decision to use daycare was pretty simple. If what I earn was 3x or more than the cost of daycare and if I could find a daycare where they didnt just do TLC, but also had lots of activities, then it would be well worth it. Sheenu Hi,

My girlfriend and I both work part-time on different days so we share the child care in order to reduce the cost. One day she looks after my child and vice versa. Childcare is expensive.
