Turn workplace partnerships into long-term nursery enrolments.

Supporting sustainable nursery operations.

The Workplace Nursery Scheme helps you attract committed families, reduce admin friction and secure consistent income through employer-backed childcare.
How it works

A structured partnership
with employers.

A Workplace Nursery Scheme is a formal arrangement between a nursery and an employer that allows employees to pay for nursery care in a tax efficient way.

Rather than families paying fees directly to you from net pay, the employer finances and manages the childcare provision in line with HMRC rules. The nursery continues to deliver the same care, but you get paid more, with no compromise on quality or independence.

Feel The Benefit manages the structure, contracts and administration, creating a compliant, long term partnership that supports both your nursery and the families you care for.

Day to day

How families join
and fees are managed.

Once a partnership is agreed, the scheme is simple to operate day to day.

Employees who are parents opt into the scheme through their employer. Feel The Benefit coordinates the formal arrangements between the employer, the nursery and the employee acting as the authorised employer representative.

Nursery fees are agreed in advance and paid through the employer and are in your account prior to the month starting. Feel The Benefit manages the documentation, funding confirmations and ongoing administration, so your team is not burdened with additional paperwork.

Your role remains focused on delivering outstanding childcare, not managing employer schemes.

For Nurseries

A partnership built around you

Feel The Benefit manages all scheme administration, contracts and HMRC compliance — so your team can stay focused on delivering outstanding care.

Fees are paid directly into your account before the 1st of each month, every month.

Why this works for nurseries

The Workplace Nursery Scheme is designed to support sustainable nursery operations, not short term discounts.
1
More stable enrolment
Because fees are structured through an employer, families are more likely to commit for longer periods, helping reduce churn and improve occupancy planning.
2
Employer backed funding
The scheme includes a clear employer financial contribution, reinforcing stability and reducing reliance on individual household affordability alone. Your nursery will benefit from additional revenue and predictable payments.
3
No change to your pricing model
You continue to set your own fees and deliver care as normal. The scheme changes how fees are paid, not what you charge. Funds are paid directly into your account before the 1st of each month for the month ahead, so you are never out of pocket.
4
Reduced admin burden
Feel The Benefit manages the scheme setup, compliance and ongoing governance, meaning no complex payroll or tax handling for your nursery team.
5
A credible, compliant framework
Only Ofsted registered (or devolved equivalent) nurseries can participate. The scheme is designed to stand up to HMRC scrutiny, giving reassurance that the arrangement is properly structured and sustainable.
