I think the best bet is to speak to the mediator first - if you go ahead, I think they invite your ex to attend. Google the national family mediation service and that should get you on the right lines,

I've spoken to the mediator and it sounds like the more desirable option over going to court although they did say there was to types of mediation, one in and one outside of the court process. If the mediation fails for whatever reason and this has taken place outside of any court process ( as opposed to part of it), if the the court process was then started, would a judge insist on more mediation or accept that it has been attempted and move forward? As money is short I would want to avoid paying for mediation twice.

It's impossible to say what a court will decide, but I think that if you have already been to mediation, then you are at court because the mediation has failed, so there can only be a limited benefit to going back again. Although the courts don't generally like making decisions purely on financial grounds, they do realise that parents do have limited finances so you can argue that you don't feel that the cost would achieve the required outcome.
