This service allows Scottish families to register their nannies in order to claim from a Childcare Voucher Scheme, Universal Credit or Tax Free Childcare. Once we have registered the nanny, our team will provide with a letter that confirms that the nanny is a "registered nanny" and a registration number that you will have the use for the duration of the employment of the named nanny. In the case of Tax Free Childcare, we will also upload the nanny's contact details on the Tax Free Childcare portal so that HMRC can create an account for them.
