Workplace Nursery Benefit | Apple Employee Benefits

Employers

Employers will always have employees that have childcare requirements and what better way to help them than providing a Workplace Nursery Benefit Scheme.

Benefits of the scheme

Cost neutral for employers
Enable your employees to maximise Tax and NI savings
Improves work-life balance with easily accessible nursery
Help retain your number one asset - your employees!
Excellent recruitment tool - attract those high calibre staff members
The scheme must be open to all employees or all employees at a particular location

Financial Commitment

In order to comply with HMRC requirements the employer must have a financial commitment to the Nursery. This means for each employee, the employer will make and annual contribution of £600.

The nursery will use this financial contribution to purchase tangible materials such as books, toys, outdoor equipment or learning aids for example. Due to the scheme being free from employers National Insurance, the savings in NI will cover all contributions making the scheme cost neutral.

Management Commitment

The employer must also be involved in the management of the nursery. This HMRC requirement can be satisfied through annual meetings with between the nursery, employer (represented by Apple Employee Benefits) and a parent representative.

Full minutes will be taken and circulated to the employer and all parties.
