A workplace nursery is one of the most popular benefits opted for by employees.

Many young professionals are at the age in life where they wish to start families. Having a workplace nursery makes their decision to return to work after maternity or paternity leave far easier.

A nursery at work is a great way of significantly increasing staff retention. Where expensive childcare fees often force employees to become a stay-at-home parent, a nursery at work gives them an alternative option. They can do their job and be at ease knowing their child is well cared for.

With Enjoy Benefits, you will receive a fully administered, cost-free service that covers full implementation and marketing of the scheme, as well as ongoing scheme management.

Read on to learn more about the ways in which a nursery at work could benefit your business.

How Does a Workplace Nursery Scheme Work?

Generally the workplace nursery scheme covers the cost of childcare for employees sending their children to nursery.

As the employer, you can choose which nursery or nurseries you approve for this scheme. Approving more than one nursery gives your employees a wider choice of childcare and makes the scheme more attractive.

Enjoy Benefits has an existing network of nurseries that we work with to offer this scheme. If a parent would like to use a nursery that we don’t currently partner with, we can contact them to negotiate an arrangement they agree with.

The contract between your business and the nursery that promises places for your employee’s children also benefits the nursery. They receive additional funding through the Workplace Nursery scheme.

An employee’s average childcare fees must be over £350 a month for them to take part in the scheme.

Any child up to the age of five can be covered by the scheme. This is the age group that typically requires the most expensive childcare.

This benefits scheme can save both employers and employees tax on income and National Insurance.

By offering your employees a Workplace Nursery benefit, the company is fully supporting employees in their return to work decision.
