The ouch in vouchers

In response to 'Vouchers bring growth hopes for companies' (News, 22 September), I would like to draw Nursery World readers' attention to the problems we face with the sheer scale of this scheme. Nursery managers, who are already deluged with paperwork from every direction, now have the added problem of tracing the childcare voucher payments. These come in a variety of methods. For example, several families are now paying with two different voucher schemes and then make a balance payment with cash or cheque. The vouchers may have to be posted or redeemed over the telephone, unnecessarily taking up further time. Then each payment has to be traced through the banking systems to check that the money has been placed in the correct account.

Will there be enough assessors with the right skills to take students through the new NVQs? By Karen Faux The shortage of NVQ assessors has been well-documented in recent months and remains a pressing issue. What's needed, it seems, is not just more assessors but a supply of those who are sufficiently skilled and up-to-speed with the demands of the new national occupational standards which will be officially launched this November.
