Tax credits- childcare help please?

Hi,

I'm just filling in the forms and I'm up to the childcare provider section. What I want to ask is, My daughter is in a different school to my Son (3.5 miles apart), My daughter goes to AfterSchool club and my son Wraparound, my daughter will need to use the after school club twice a week until the summer holidays then she leaves for high school. Am I able to have two different childcare providers for her? (I would need to use my Sons holiday club for both of them in the summer holidays) as this is only a five minute walk away, am i able to do this, or can i just have one childcare provider for her?

Hope that makes sense :confused:

Thank you.

    As soon as you change your provider you will need to inform them straight away.

    Hi again,

    Sorry to be a pain, but another quick question if I could?
    What happens if I only need childcare twice a week at the moment and I put that down on the ctc forms, and I'm asked to work overtime/cover holidays etc? which I'm told i will have to do

    :rotfl:Sorry don't mean to laugh I think you mean Busy Bees, though would be a good name for them.

    They are childcare vouchers, it is not my area of expertise so I have included a link. http://www.busybeesvouchers.com/
