Newly single parent with an almost 3 year old and 7 month old, both go to nursery. Before the split, we paid nursery fees by using childcare vouchers (salary sacrifice) with our respective employers. Now I have them 90% of the time, and the baby will be starting nursery. So I'll be a single parent with one eligible for the 30 hours free childcare and one paying for 30 hours care. My ex counts the £243 childcare voucher amount as part of his maintenance. Would I be better off claiming tax free childcare for both, or continue with us both chipping in £243 to the whole nursery bill?
