How to Save Money without Compromising on Quality Childcare

With news about price rises continuing to affect our day to day lives, there’s no doubt we’re all feeling the pinch when it comes to the cost of living. As a collective, it is now more important than ever to find ways to optimise our spending and make sure that we make the most of the savings available for our essential services and purchases. But with childcare potentially accounting for one of the largest outgoings for some parents, how can you balance high quality childcare with tight monthly budgets?

We’ve pulled together a few ways to help make childcare more manageable over the course of 2024.

1) Take Advantage of Book Early + Save, and other Early Bird Pricing

For those in the know, planning ahead can mean big savings when it comes to taking advantage of early bird pricing when securing your desired camp place.

At Camp Beaumont, pricing is based on camp availability – meaning the earlier you book, the more you save! Forward planning your childcare not only helps save money but can provide peace of mind for upcoming school holiday periods.

You can save big when you book in advance in 2024 with Book Early & Save initiatives – for those super advanced bookings, you can secure rates as low as £40 per day at Camp Beaumont when you book a full week. An offer not to miss – check out any new payment products to help you maintain flexibility on your bookings.

Additionally, by booking early and taking advantage of our earlier rates, you can not only save on total costs but you can really make the most of our payment options to ensure that securing your childcare works for you and any changes in plans that might arise.

Make sure that you snap up Book Early and Save rates as well as early booking prices and keep an eye on providers social channels for key dates!

2) Book 1 Week & Get A Multi-Day Discount

Did you know that for example, when you book a full week with Camp Beaumont instead of individual days during school holidays, that you qualify for a further discount on your childcare options? Save £5 a day when you book a full week at our day camps and make the most of your time and your money. More fun, more days, less spend.

3) Use Tax Free Childcare Vouchers

As part of a government scheme, some parents can get up to £500 every 3 months for each child to help with the cost of childcare. This is to be used towards approved childcare including childminders, after school clubs and play schemes – including Camp Beaumont day camps.

Camp Beaumont accepts a wide range of Tax Free Childcare Vouchers, which can be used across all our locations and seasons. Using tax-free childcare vouchers is just another way that helps alleviate costs without compromising on quality and reliable childcare throughout the school holidays.

4) Use Payment Options and Choose FLEX for Complete Flexibility on Your Booking

As the last few years have proved, we never really know what’s around the corner and it’s more important than ever to ensure we look after our pennies – especially when plans can change suddenly.

As well as a variety of optional extras available to add-on, Camp Beaumont now offers FLEX options for additional peace of mind. Their insurance options are market leading and starting at just £4. This means that you can take full advantage of Book Early & Save initiatives, and locking in those early rates with the flexibility to move your booking if plans change.‍

In 2024, providers are likely to welcome even more locations, so keep your eyes peeled on social channels for more update and any potential introductory offers!
