If you have sent a payment to the school via your Childcare Voucher account for wrap around care, please email finance@pussbank.cheshire.sch.uk to advise where this money should be allocated.

Refunds

Please be aware that, under the HMRC rules, any overpayments of childcare vouchers cannot be refunded directly to parents/carers due to the tax benefits received on purchase.

It is the responsibility of parents/carers to ensure that their account is not in excessive credit and any payments are used, as we are unable to process refunds for credit balances for both current children and leavers.

If the child/children leaving us has a sibling remaining in the school, any credit will be transferred to their account.
