Can I use my tax-free childcare (TFC) account to pay Reception fees?

No, tax-free childcare account payments cannot be used to pay for Reception fees. TFC accounts can be used to pay for Nursery fees, schools may also accept the payments for after school care clubs. Once a pupil moves into Reception and beyond, TFC payments cannot be used to pay fees and a direct debit must be set up. 

You will need to contact the school directly to find out if they accept TFC payments for after school care.
