Yes, in most cases. If the after-school club or wraparound care provider is registered with Ofsted (or the equivalent regulatory body in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland), you can use your Tax-Free Childcare account to pay for the sessions, effectively receiving a 20% government top-up.
Standard sessions usually include supervised play, homework support, and a light snack. Premium sessions may include a hot meal, structured enrichment activities (like sports, arts, or coding), and extended hours until 6:00 PM or later.
Many school-based after-school clubs are closed on inset (teacher training) days. However, some private providers offer full-day holiday or inset day cover, which is usually charged at a higher daily rate than standard after-school sessions.
Many providers offer a sibling discount, typically ranging from 5% to 15% off the second child’s fees. It is always best to check directly with your specific club or local authority for their exact discount policy and availability.
