That's all really!

The Accor scheme says that the tax benefit can't be given for "informal" care (eg parent, friend) however if that parent or friend is a CM, can you?

I would think as long as they are registered then yes but I may be wrong.

don't think you'd get away with close family member but don't see why cm friend would be a problem, just would need to be registered with local CIS (guess best not to say they're a friend). Check out their website, think it's www.accor.co.uk or com

CD, is your mum going to chilmind when you move to the boonies (I'm still sad for you)? Now, if your DH paid her from his salary which technically he would be doing if you give up work, then it's a case of mother-in-law. Is that permitted?

As long as the carer is a registered childminder, it makes no difference if they are related.

I obviously haven't read the leaflet, but I do know a registered childminder who minds her own grandchildren and gets all the same "benefits" as any other childminder. The reason for getting registered in the first place was so that her daughter could legitimately get the same benefits as if she had a non-family CM. I'm just confused really!!
