September 2024/25
“We have watched our little boy grow in confidence and make new friends, learn to swim and count in French! The variety of topics that have been covered have been really interesting, and our son has taken to learning about the world we live in, numbers and letters to name a few, like a fish to water. We feel strongly that this is because the lovely teachers and teaching assistants make sure that all learning is done as and when the child is ready and in a positive and supportive manner.” - Current Parent

Information for Parents wishing to pay by Childcare Vouchers
The Trust is happy to accept Childcare Vouchers in full or partial settlement of qualifying fees. Please refer to your employer in the first instance to see whether your company participates in a childcare voucher scheme as part of a salary sacrifice scheme for employees. Please note that the regulations relating to the Childcare Voucher Scheme are changing all the time so you should seek guidance from your employer or voucher provider regarding the latest figures or refer to www.hmrc.gov.uk/childcare.
Vouchers may only be used by parents or those with ‘parental responsibility’ for the child concerned. Our acceptance of vouchers is strictly on the condition that, should HMRC dispute any element of our acceptance, any liability for a reclaim of tax or national insurance contributions remains solely with the parent and/or their employer; the Trust cannot accept any liability in this respect.
Please see below a list of charges that fall within the HMRC definition of ‘qualifying childcare’:-
● Fees for Pre-School;
● School Fees for Reception children under 5 at the start of any term, as this is deemed as non-compulsory education;
● Any chargeable After School Care or Breakfast Club;
● Flexible boarding fees and the boarding element of the full boarding fee – please contact the Fees Manager (fees@prepschoolstrust.org) for details;
● Holiday Clubs held on School premises and operated by the Prep Schools Trust.
Please note that fees for extra activities (e.g. ballet, golf) are not qualifying childcare. If you are using the Government Tax Free Childcare payments it is important to send details of your payment reference and the eligible charge to fees@prepschoolstrust.org so that the payment can be correctly identified.
Fees must be settled within our normal terms and conditions which require payment in advance. In practice this requires parents to either save up vouchers and then to make payment in a lump sum at the start of a term or to make monthly advance payments during the term when the fees have already been settled in full. All payments from voucher providers must be made via bank transfer; we do not accept paper vouchers.
Each Trust School has to be registered individually with Voucher Providers so please email fees@prepschoolstrust.org to request the relevant registration details.
