How does the Ofsted Childcare Register (VOCR) work?

Parents who employ an Ofsted registered nanny can receive some financial contributions towards their childcare costs. There are two types of financial support available: employer-supported childcare vouchers and working tax credits. The registration is valid for 12 months and costs £100 per year, which includes the cost of an enhanced CRB disclosure. There is no direct equivalent to the Ofsted register available in Scotland. Parents must employ a nanny through a nanny or childcare agency registered with the Care Commission. Wales has a childcare approval scheme. Nannytax can help with information on how to become registered and how childcare vouchers work. We also make sure that any news updates on the Ofsted Childcare Register are available on this section on our website.
