Childcare vouchers are a Government approved scheme aimed at helping working parents to afford quality childcare. Parents can save over £900* a year in tax and National Insurance, simply by paying their childcare provider with childcare vouchers instead of cash.

There’s no means-testing, no claim forms and it only takes 10 minutes to register. Both parents can take part, to double their savings. Childcare vouchers can be used for nurseries, pre-school, childminders, nannies, out-of-school care and holiday clubs, for children aged 0 to 15. KiddiVouchers schemes are also simple and convenient for employers, offering employer National Insurance savings of up to £373* a year for every parent who takes part.

d -skin disc protector NEVER has to be removed and protects your discs Even While They Play. Snap it on your games, movies, music or data discs for instant scratch protection. Laser transparent d-skin Protective Disc Skins works on CD’s, CD–R’s, DVD’s, Playstation2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and computer games. d-skin transparent film will not affect music or video quality. They are so versatile you can even burn through them when doing your backups or saving those family pictures and videos.

Just snap d-skin Protective Disc Skins onto the readable side of your favorite discs and consider them protected. The amazing Liplock Seal snaps onto the edge of any standard size disc and holds tight. Once your discs are skinned, there is nothing to take off or put on when you are playing, storing or transporting your games, videos, or music.

Q: How does d-skin work?
A: d-skin's patented film and outer–ring technology are breakthroughs in disc protection. The ultra–thin Skin forms a protective barrier on the readable side of your discs to prevent scratches.

Q: Did you say this stays on while you play your disc?
A: Yes! The Skin is so thin that your discs can be read right through it. No distortion, no skipping, no problems.

Q: Does it affect the way a disc plays?
A: No. Discs store data digitally and the laser–transparent film of d-skin does not alter the quality. Digital information is either on or off, the quality remains perfect, just as it was recorded.
