Why switch to Early Years Vouchers Ltd?

An increasing number of companies are transferring to Early Years Vouchers Ltd for the provision of childcare

vouchers as they realise that their existing provider is not maximising the benefits of the scheme for their

organisation or their employees.

We are an innovative company that is small enough to be able to be flexible to meet your specific needs, whilst

being large enough to work with all types and sizes of organisation. We currently manage the childcare voucher

benefit for clients with multiple sites across the UK and we also work with companies where only a few employees

are using the benefit.

We offer:

Quick & Easy transition to Early Years Vouchers for you and your employees – no extra form filling!

User friendly website for you, your employees and their childcare providers.

Personal & efficient service from our friendly customer team – not a call centre.

Simple charge for purchasing vouchers

Quick & Easy Transition

Early Years Vouchers Ltd make the process of switching from

your existing childcare voucher provider, a quick and simple

one. We take the data you currently hold for your employees

using the childcare voucher benefit and we use this as the

basis for creating their new on-line accounts with ourselves.

We then contact them by email and phone to get their voucher

accounts up and running. There is no paperwork burden for

your employees and the transition from old provider to new is

straightforward.

As soon as your employees accounts are created, they receive a

welcome email and employee pack explaining how to use their

Early Years childcare vouchers.

User friendly website for you, your employees and their childcare providers Our web based service is simple and quick to use. If you want a completely hands-free system, you can set your account so that: • Vouchers are created for employees automatically each payroll period. • You receive an email to say that your vouchers are ready for approval. • Once the vouchers are approved on-line, you receive an invoice by email. • We can then take payment for the invoice by Direct Debit. • This means minimum work for you, bar making the payroll amendments. Alternatively, if you would like us to manage the whole process for you, we can! We will contact your employees, discuss the benefit with them, set up their individual on-line accounts and then request the benefit for them, ready for you to approve.

Personal & efficient service from our friendly customer team – not a call centre.

Our trained customer team are on hand to deal with any questions or queries you have. All phone or email enquiries are dealt with immediately by the person you speak to or contact. You are not passed from department to department.

Simple charge for purchasing Early Years childcare vouchers – no hidden extras.

We don’t believe in charging you to set up an account, we don’t levy a monthly charge to use our service and if you only have a few employees wishing to use the service we don’t make a “minimum number of employees” charge.

We simply charge you a percentage of the value of the requests you make.

You can use the switch to ourselves as an opportunity to re-launch the benefit to all your employees. Our leaflets and posters make staff aware of your new childcare voucher provider and we have a draft launch email you can send out. If you feel it appropriate, we can arrange to visit your offices and undertake one-to-ones with existing users and new employees interested in taking up the benefit.

Making the switch to Early Years Vouchers can be done before your next payroll run... Call us today.

Gillian Smith, Schawk

Childcare benefits and allowance schemes can be an administrative mine field for the HR

department. And it can be equally as challenging for employees, who face a number of

complicated forms to fill in.

“EYVL has eliminated the complexity of childcare benefits and it has also helped everyone better

understand childcare voucher incentives and tax implications, while raising the general awareness

of childcare benefits. When you ring up EYVL, they are always there to offer advice and talk you

through whatever query you might have. The scheme is very flexible and the feedback we have

had from our employees has been extremely positive – in particular, they’re impressed with the

way they are always treated as individuals.

Louise Sandell, a Cheshire based registered childminder said:

As I look after quite a few children and have to deal with about six other voucher providers on

a regular basis, I can honestly say that EYVL is by far the most professional and efficient. I hate

dealing with call centres as you are often just a number to them, but with EYVL you can always

speak to a friendly voice who knows you and your individual situation – and after you have spoken

to someone they automatically send out an email confirming the details. Another bonus is that

payment is almost immediate with EYVL – where as with other providers you have to often wait

about 4-5 working days.

Mum-of-one, Katy Jamieson, works part-time as a Solicitor at

Lightfoot Solicitors.

My firm advertised the scheme internally with posters, which was what caught my eye. It was

never something that I knew much about before then and probably something I never would have

intentionally sought out. But after reading about it I spoke to my son’s childminder and she said

that it was an easy way to save money, it also meant that money was transferred direct to the

childminder monthly without me having to organise it through my bank – so I gave Early Years

Vouchers a call.

In all honesty I expected it to be a complete pain – signing up, receiving vouchers every month

and sorting out the details with my employer and childminder – but it really wasn’t. It took me

about five minutes to join and I was pleasantly surprised at how simple the whole process was.

The scheme makes so much financial sense, and no-one loses out. Parents that are able to but who

chose not to sign-up are crazy!

Tony Stevenson, Kellogg

EYVL sets itself apart from other childcare allowance

organisations by providing a truly personable service –

something you can experience by just calling them. You

are referred to by name, as an individual and not just a

number routed through a call centre.
