What happens when we run your workplace nursery benefit
For your working parents
Nursery fees, paid before tax and National Insurance.
Parents pay their nursery fees through salary sacrifice, from their gross salary, and can save up to 47% depending on their tax band and circumstances. Kinsail does not charge employees a fee.
Contracts
Everyone signs their own part.
You sign our employer agreement once. Each nursery and each employee signs their own agreement with us, so you and the nursery never need to sign the same document. After the employee meets the nursery, a contribution agreement completes the set up.
Your HR team
About ten minutes per parent.
You approve each parent who asks to join and we send your payroll team the figures each month. We onboard the nursery, run the paperwork and collect the receipts.
OFSTED Analysis Tools
Your contribution, directed by inspection evidence.
Kinsail’s OFSTED Analysis Tools read each nursery’s published inspection report and turn it into clear investment priorities, so your contribution goes where an independent inspector identified the greatest opportunity to improve children’s outcomes.

Questions employers ask
What does it cost?
Kinsail charges the employer a management fee of 15% of the salary sacrifice amount. Employees pay no fee. We will take you through the numbers for your organisation in the demo.
Is it compliant?
Kinsail is built in accordance with HMRC’s published guidance under Section 318 ITEPA 2003. We can share our compliance framework overview with your reward, tax or finance team.
What if an employee’s nursery is not with Kinsail yet?
We onboard any registered UK nursery, so your people can use a nursery near where they live or work.
Who can use the benefit?
Employees with a child at a registered nursery, where the salary sacrifice keeps their pay above the National Minimum Wage. We check eligibility for each parent before they join.
What does my team need to do?
Approve each parent who asks to join and apply the monthly figures we send to payroll. We handle everything else.
