Childcare
Nursery
Busy Bees provides the Trust with an on-site nursery at NNUH for children aged between three months and five years. The nursery opened in September 2005. Nursery sessions run from 7am to 1pm and 1 pm to 6:30pm and spaces are prioritised for hospital staff. Further information can be obtained from Busy Bees by emailing childcare.enquiries@busybees.com or from the Busy Bees website.
Childcare vouchers
We have a voucher system, in conjunction with Busy Bees, whereby part of your salary can be exchanged for childcare vouchers that can help pay for all forms of childcare. Childcare vouchers cover children up to 16 years of age.
The vouchers are exempt from National Insurance contributions and therefore represent a saving for employees who use them to pay for childcare.
