Re: Childcare Vouchers taken after my child left the nursery!

Thanks Tilly, really helpful advice.

I suppose I should start by naming the nursery - Kids Unlimited in Wandsworth. I've had previous problems with them over charging. In fact, in addition to the childcare vouchers they still owe me a refund on an incorrect invoice!
