Speedy and helpful

Speedy, patient and so incredibly helpful. Incredibly good value for what we get and saved me thousands of pounds. I'm just gutted I didn't know about it in my first maternity leave!

Teacher’s SPL run don’t walk!

Teacher’s SPL I CANNOT recommend enough! They have been brilliant during my mat leave and helping me sort shared parental leave pay.
When you’re on mat leave there’s so much going on and they took the stress away of applying for SPL away. They went through my school policy, completed my school paperwork to apply and talked me through every step. I just wished I’d known about them from the very beginning. Beth was brilliant! No question was too big or too small and she was so comforting and understanding! Fabulous service. I’ve been telling everyone to get in touch. Thank you.

Extremely helpful team

Extremely helpful team. Very knowledgeable. Quick and easy and enabled me to get paid through holidays for my second and third baby. Just wish I'd known for my first!

A simple way to massively increase maternity pay

The whole process was simple - much more so than having to fill in the paperwork myself! - and it was great to know that I wouldn't have to worry about a mistake on the form stopping my leave being agreed.
Well worth the money to gain over £7300 over the course of my time off. Every teacher should know about this.

Very efficient and give you everything you need to know for your specific leave.
They were always very responsive to further questions I had. They helped me persuade my employer that you ARE allowed to work up until you give birth (past your due date!).

Invaluable!

This service has been absolutely invaluable. My school hadn’t had anyone take SPL before and had no clue what they were doing. Teachers’ SPL made the whole process so easy and totally stress free. Even when I was forced to take early mat leave, they were able to quickly change my dates around to ensure I still got the best value SPL possible. I would recommend this to any teacher and would definitely use them again for any future leave.

Really helpful and super easy

Really helpful and super easy. Using Teachers SPL took the stress away from an already busy schedule as they helped me navigate how to complete all documents required for a smooth transaction between me and my school. Super friendly service and quick responses. I haven’t had any issues with advice or paperwork submitted. Would 100% recommend for all teachers to take advantage of what you’re entitled too with little effort - especially if you’re new to this!

Just do it!

I’ve used Kinza’s SPL service for two mat leaves now. Both times have provided me with a much better income for time off I took. Communication was always clear and prompt and everything was made way easier than I thought it might be!

Such a simple process

Such a simple process. Quick replies, queries answered and paperwork completed promptly. Also advised on additional specifics involving neonatal leave to ensure my leave was maximised in both time and finances.

Well worth it!

The whole process was very easy, quick and Hannah was really helpful as I barely understood the process and paperwork involved. Completely worth the money as we have saved thousands of pounds throughout my leave and it has enabled me to take longer with my baby.

Honestly a brilliant service

Honestly a brilliant service. Took all the stress of working out dates, filling in paperwork and trying to figure out the best time to take the blocks to make as much money over my maternity as possible. I have already recommended them to so many other teachers thinking about doing SPL but worried about getting the paperwork/dates wrong.

Efficient and well worth the money

David and Kinza were fantastic. Navigating the continuous and non continuous leave in order to maximise your SPL often needs an expert eye; and that is exactly what I had with David and Kinza. My school had never had anyone use SPL before. And I had only learnt of this through a teaching friend. I wish I had known of it for my previous maternity leaves! This really is worth the money in their admin costs to ensure all the paperwork is correct.

This website was incredible

This website was incredible! They did my paperwork for me and answered all personal questions I had. They read my school’s policy and completed their forms. Great value for how much extra money you get paid for SPL. I’d highly recommend and thank you for their support. I just wish I’d used them and done SPL for my first child!

I had a really positive experience with Teacher's SPL. Hannah was in charge of sorting out my paperwork and made the whole process really easy and straightforward. She was quick to respond to any questions I had and was always helpful and friendly throughout.

Returning customer!

This is the second time I have used Teachers SPL. It has been a godsend both times! The whole process can be quite daunting and complicated but Kinza and Sam have made it so quick and efficient for me. The variety of packages they offer are excellent so there is something for everyone, as well as the free resources they provide. I would highly recommend their services to any teacher.
