- a) I/We wish to accept childcare vouchers and agree to the terms and conditions as set by Co–operative Flexible Benefits. I/we confirm that the information given on this form is accurate and true.
- b) I/we confirm that I/we am/are registered with an appropriate regulatory body as stated on this form. (It is a legal requirement that to receive payment by childcare vouchers, you MUST be a registered childcare provider. It is therefore your responsibility to advise us of changes, withdrawal or revocation of your certification).
- c) I/we attach a copy of my/our registration form, and give my permission to Co-operative Flexible Benefits to check the validity of my registration with the appropriate body if needed. I understand my details will not be used for any reason other than the operation of the Co-operative Flexible Benefits Childcare Voucher scheme.
- d) IMPORTANT – PLEASE NOTE. Qualifying childcare does not include care provided by a relative (relative means parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle, brother or sister [whether by blood, half-blood, marriage or affinity] and includes step-parents, civil partners and foster parents) in the child’s own home. Childcare provided by relatives can only be considered ‘qualifying childcare’ if the relative is a registered or approved childcarer, providing care away from the child’s own home, and whom also provides childcare for other non-related children in addition to the related child(ren).
I, the childcare provider agree to:
- Accept payments from Co-operative Flexible Benefits which have been initiated by parents for whom I provide childcare services only
- Supply evidence that I am appropriately registered with Ofsted or other regulatory body as stipulated by legislation, and allow Co-operative Flexible Benefits to check that my registration is valid
- Take responsibility for providing a satisfactory standard of childcare
- Inform Co-operative Flexible Benefits if my registration as a childcare provider lapses or is withdrawn.
Co-operative Flexible Benefits agrees to:
- Initiate payment into the bank account for which you have provided details within 1 working day of a parent requesting payment to be made
- Make no charge for processing payments to you
- Provide you with an account number, User ID and PIN so you can access our website and check on payments that have been made and are pending
- Provide a freephone number 0800 458 7929 for you to call and access payment information or request a free statement if you don’t have access to the internet.
