Up to £243 tax free childcare vouchers per month (per employee) - if nanny is ofsted registered think you can pay her with them

That nursery sounds expensive though... at least the nanny can look after both kids at once

edit: yeah would like to see where that nursery is? that's almost more expensive than Eton

you'd have to open a pension fund, handle PAYE etc.
i'd avoid that, but i'm a lazy bugger

This, but it doesn't have to be childcare vouchers. You can (and should) skip the voucher bit and just pay the childcare provider directly from the company bank account.

Also, that is far too much per day for a nursery.

£23 a day next week for my little monster....

Funnily enough NLUK I was brought up on a rough council estate - Glytaff Farm, Rhydyfelin for any south walians here. Not the nicest - better these days....

Dont think there are many benefit claimants where I live now. Probably not living in detached houses - apart from me of course!
