Funding - partner has moved out

i am now separated and my husband has moved out, long story short he has also now become unemployed. He is registered as my partner on the application for the funding code and tax free childcare. Will I need to reapply without him as a single parent living alone now? His name is still on our tenancy, council tax, bills etc so would a single applicant even be approved at this stage when on paper he appears to be living here still and due to his unemployment would that void my application for funding

When this happened to me, I went onto the website and filled out change of circumstances part of the application. I’m not sure how I did it as it was a few years ago, but I do remember being able to change my application to apply as a single person.

Thanks - will check it out. I’m also considering no funding at all for the next term because my situation is complicated with my husband for now, but would that affect my child’s place at nursery by removing the funding?

I have no problem paying full fees, I just don’t want to uproot the little one from somewhere he is now settled. Presume the nursery would just begin to invoice me in full and it would be business as usual ?
