answer text <p>Staff in the Department can utilise the Westminster Holiday Play Scheme. This is a childcare facility that takes place during school holidays, open to children from the age of 4 years and 9 months up to 15 years’ old. It is run by a private company on behalf of a consortium of departments, through a contract led and administered by BEIS. It currently operates at 4 London locations. Parents/guardians meet more than half of the costs for children attending this scheme, but the Department pays either £14.78 or £15.68 (dependent on the age of the child) towards each day’s use of the scheme.</p><p>During FY 2016/17, Home Office has recorded spend of £4045.84 on this play scheme. The Department does not collate details on the number of individual staff members who made use of the scheme or on the amounts spent per child.</p><p>More widely, the Home Office operates a Childcare Voucher Salary Sacrifice Scheme for staff. Staff can choose to take part of their salary (up to £243 per month) in the form of childcare vouchers. As the vouchers are exempt from Tax and NI, a saving is made. The vouchers can be used to help meet the costs of a range of registered childcare.</p>

answer text <p>There are no on-site childcare facilities provided by the Ministry of Justice on its estate. However, the Department recognises that employees need flexible pre-school and out-of-school childcare of a type and in a location most convenient to them, and we offer a salary sacrifice scheme for childcare vouchers. This enables employees to choose their own childcare provider (subject to meeting eligibility requirements) and have their childcare costs reduced by taking part of their salary in the form of childcare vouchers, which are exempt from tax and National Insurance contributions.</p><p>We also offer a range of flexible working options to staff, including term-time working, job shares and compressed hours, to allow staff with caring responsibilities to work in the way that best suits them.</p> more like this

answer text <p>HM Treasury, along with other government departments, has access to the Westminster Play Scheme, which is run by a private sector childcare provider called ‘Tinies’. This is available during school holidays (half terms and summer break). The total cost to HM Treasury for the last financial year (01/04/2016 to 31/03/2017) was £2,558.50. As this is an external provider we are unable to confirm total cost per child.</p> more like this
