The Childcare Voucher Scheme
RG Childcare provides two types of Childcare Vouchers – paper and e-vouchers.
Childcare Vouchers may only be accepted by the Carer in exchange for childcare services. Vouchers must not be exchanged for cash or change is given and any attempt to do so will constitute tax evasion. All vouchers must be presented or redeemed by the person named on the voucher or to whom the e-voucher was credited. The value of a voucher is expressed on the face of the voucher or otherwise indicated on the voucher remittance (or paper voucher remittance) sent to an employee.
The Carer shall not charge the employee presenting the voucher a handling fee for accepting the voucher.
It takes 4 working days to process a voucher payment to a child carer subject to sufficient funds being available.
All instructions to process vouchers received will be entered onto the Carer’s account on the day of receipt or if this is not possible, on the next working day. RG Childcare will then process a BACS to the Carer on the next working day. To be credited as per BACS terms and conditions within three [3] working days. RG Childcare shall not be liable for any failure or delay by BACS to remit payment.
If RG Childcare informs the Carer that certain vouchers are stolen, fraudulent or otherwise invalid, the Carer should not accept such vouchers and RG Childcare will not be liable to the Carer for the redemption of such vouchers.
E-Vouchers
E-vouchers will be redeemed by the employee accessing his/her internet account and arranging payment directly into your bank account. RG Childcare shall have no liability to the Carer for sums owed by the employee for the provision of childcare paid for this way.
Paper Vouchers
When vouchers are received by the carer, the counterfoil must be attached.
The Carer should redeem paper vouchers promptly, (or in any event prior to the printed expiry date), using one of two methods:
- By telephone: Carers can submit a telephone remittance by calling 0845 259 3089.
- By post: Carers can send the vouchers, with a remittance form, to RG Childcare.
RG Childcare recommends that all paper vouchers should be sent using recorded delivery or a similar delivery serviceto :

All paper vouchers will have an expiry date and must be valid when received by RG Childcare (or received by RG Childcare within 5 working days after the expiry date).
