Our Approach to Payroll

We set up your payroll

We configure your payroll to suit your nursery, including staff details, pay rates, pension schemes and any existing commitments.

We process each pay run

For each pay run, we calculate wages, deductions, tax and national insurance for every member of your team, including any overtime or adjustments.

We handle RTI submissions

We submit your Real Time Information to HMRC on your behalf after every pay run, keeping you fully compliant.

We manage year-end payroll

At the end of the tax year, we finalise everything, issue P60s to your staff and submit your final declarations to HMRC.

Why Childcare Businesses Choose a Specialist For Payroll

  • From room leaders to bank staff, we know how nursery teams work. We handle varied hours, split roles and the pay structures that come with them.

  • Your staff deserve to be paid accurately and on time. We make sure that happens, so you can focus on retaining a happy, settled team.

  • RTI submissions, tax code changes, P45s and P60s are all taken care of. You do not need to worry about the paperwork or the deadlines.

"I know how important it is for your team to be paid correctly and on time. As your first point of contact, I make sure any payroll queries are dealt with quickly, and that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes so you do not have to chase."
