Can KiddiVouchers be used for nannies, babysitters or care by relatives?
In England, childcare given in the child’s own home by an approved carer or by a carer from a registered agency can be paid for using KiddiVouchers as long as the carer is not a relative of the child. Nannies in England can easily become eligible to accept vouchers by registering with the voluntary Ofsted register. In Wales nannies need to be registered with the Childcare Approval Scheme for Wales. Childcare provided by a relative away from the child’s home can be paid for with KiddiVouchers as long as the relative is registered or approved and is also caring for unrelated children.
