Quarantined children

I'm struggling to find more information about children who need to quarantine on return to the uk.
Will they still be able to visit their second parent in a different household.
It says that people from you household who haven't traveled can still go about their business as normal. Only the people who did travel must quarantine.
Does this mean the children can for example spend half their quarantine time with the other parent?

The rule that OK'ed moving to second parent's household applied to general lockdown rules.

Quarantine (and other isolation with symptoms or after confirmed close contact) are not that. So the spirit is that they shouldn't. But I can't find an explicit version

I would say no they cannot. Quarantine on return home is much stricter than lockdown as you should only leave your home in a medical emergency.

If the arrangements are court ordered, then the child can move between homes.

You are not allowed to change the place where you are self-isolating except in very limited circumstances, including where:
• a legal obligation requires you to change address, such as where you are a child whose parents live separately, and you need to move between homes as part of a shared custody agreement
