I spouse is never a dependent. You can file a joint return though, but would need his signature or power of attorney to sign for him.
Daycare - yes, you have to put the person's social security number. If they refuse to give it to you and you can show to the IRS satisfaction that you used due diligence in trying to get it, you can still take the credit but it might be disallowed. Care providers can be penalized if they don't provide this information. This is from IRS publication 17, page 208.

First off the daycare as that's the easy one. Yes, you must have the providers tax ID number on your return. That's usually their SSN unless they're running a business and have a tax ID number for the business. If the provider refuses to give you their tax ID number, you must include their name and address along with a statement that they refused to give you their tax ID number.
If your husband is a US citizen, national or resident alien you can file either Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately. If you file jointly you get 2 personal exemptions, one for each of you. If you file separately you get your own exemption only. You cannot claim a dependency exemption for him in either case.
If your husband is a non-resident alien, you can only file a joint return with him if he agrees to be treated as a citizen or resident and be subject to US taxes on his world-wide income AND has a SSN or Taxpayer ID number (TIN). If he does not agree to that, you must file MFS. Again, you cannot claim a dependency exemption for a spouse in either case.

Make sure you bring ID and Social Security numbers for all parties on the tax return,along with all necessary W-2's.

I Would! Report all the candidates mentioned and inquire IRS to look in to see what would qualify as exemptions plus children who are under 18 log the expenses and keep all your receipts and gather all your pay stubs. Yet you May qualify for assistance or unearned income credit.
