Childcare Options Limited has a client list drawn from all over the UK.
The directors, Carol Cotton and Judith Bolton have been running childcare oriented businesses since 1992. They diversified into providing a service for businesses, as well as parents, in 2001 when they set up Childcare Options with a view to supplying childcare vouchers to employers who wanted to provide a real saving on NIC's to their employees as well as themselves.
The UK tax rules changed in 2005, making the provision of childcare vouchers an even more attractive proposition to employers of all sizes. Childcare Options Limited's approach is to tailor their service to meet the needs of each individual company.
The client list ranges from small firms of only 2-3 employees through to PLCs, government bodies and NHS trusts. Considering the growth and success rate of the childcare voucher schemes, Childcare Options is not too big to care. It is still at heart a privately owned business with Carol and Judith leading a team of equally enthusiastic people who pride themselves on ensuring a quality service.
Every scheme stakeholder is guaranteed the personal attention of the directors to ensure a smooth transition to what is actually a net saving for both the employer and employee. The childcarers are not forgotten either, having access to a helpline and an easy registration process.
