I'm currently waiting for a response from my workplace voucher provider, but I'm impatient and someone on here probably knows the answer to this.
We have a 3 year old in nursery three days a week. We use childcare vouchers (not the tax free scheme - the other one). We also have an 8 month old who will be starting nursery, also three days, in a few months. Can I get vouchers for a second child? Is the £243 maximum I can get a maximum for me, or is it per child? The three year old has been getting the "30 free hours" since January, so the bill for her has come down massively - the amount left to pay is almost covered by DH's £125 (can't recall the exact amount, but that's roughly it - he's a higher rate tax payer, so gets less in vouchers than I can). I don't know whether we can each get the same amount for DD2, whether what we can only get vouchers up to that maximum amount regardless of how many children we have in childcare, or what. I know that the vouchers scheme is no longer open to new applicants, but I don't know whether that means parents who aren't currently using it cannot begin using it, or whether parents who are already using it cannot use it for subsequent child who isn't already receiving vouchers.
I'm sleep deprived and I can't even quite keep track of the questions I need to ask right now! Anyone have any idea? TIA
