Hi, I am in a childcare voucher scheme at work and get "e-vouchers". While I was on maternity leave I saved up the voucher amount and I'm not sure if they expire or not. The scheme is through Sodexo and on their website they talk about a 12-15 month expiry date. But surely that only applies to paper vouchers? I assume that the paper vouchers have an expiry date printed on them.


If the money is already in my Sodexo "account" then surely it is not going to expire if I don;t spend it? I'm thinking that the only problem would be if I change employer but I'm not planning on this any time soon. Eventually I will need it for nursery, after-school club etc but that might be in a year's time or so.


Does anyone know?

I am also with Sodexho and also looked at this issue. My understanding from looking at the website and the Q&A was that they do expire after 15 - 18 months (the electronic ones too) but you can get them extended if need be?


Probably best to call their helpline - here is the link to the Q&A from my website (run my sodexho) re the expiry:

'Do vouchers have an expiry date?

SayCare Pass vouchers last for 15 -18?months, so you can save them up for times when you may need extra childcare throughout the year.



What do I do if my vouchers have expired?

Sodexo Motivation Solutions has in the past undertaken to replace vouchers for a further 15 - 18?months. Contact us to find out more.'

Hi I spoke to Sodexo and they confirmed over the phone that both their paper and e-vouchers (the online ones) do expire. However, they will get in touch before the expiry date and as long as your reply to their email they will renew the vouchers. The man I spoke to made it sound quite straightforward and the expiry date was just an administrative thing to satisfy HMRC.

    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate? 
    • As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely  small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.   
    • First of all, conversations with people who aren't Corbyn supporters are obviously going to tell you why those people didn't vote for him, aren't they? Second (and I don't know why I have to keep on saying this) the electoral system worked against him in terms of seats lost. If you look at the actual numbers of votes per party, yes Labour was behind, but not by as much as it appeared if just seats were counted. Thirdly, that poll was of "nearly 500" people who stopped voting Labour. That's not a very big sample, is it? Of those, 35% said it was because of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership (i.e. 65% had other reasons). Even upping the numbers to  500 people, 35% is 175. 10,269,051  people did actually vote Labour in that election. It's a long time since I used statistics for anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything you have said is "evidence"!
