Are you 'saving' a space for the child? Are you requesting a retainer fee? and because this space would be available should the child require it, then I think it would be ok for mum to pay using the scheme, or baby could perhaps come to you for a couple of hours a week? oh, I've just seen you're hoping you'll have a space when mum needs it... hm in that case I don't know. I think you would be better off/on safer ground only taking the payments if you have a guaranteed space for baby.
I shall be watching with interest to see what other answers you get.
