Tax free childcare payment not cleared

Hi all,

I transferred over my payment via BACS from my bank account to the TFC account first thing on Sunday morning. The website says

<<The quickest way to do this is by paying from your bank account
Set up a standing order or make a one off deposit from your bank account. This should usually show as cleared funds in your childcare account within 2 hours but can sometimes take up to 24 hours.>>

However it's been 48hrs! I'm assuming this is because of the bank holiday/weekend... Has it worked for anyone else? I'm stressing that my money has gone walkies - I've double checked and the account details/reference number are all correct.

Thanks in advance!

Still waiting for ours to clear and nursery fees are due today!

I find it normally works fine over the weekend but there's a delay in mine from this weekend and that hasn't cleared still.

Sorry forgot to add, if I transfer on a weekend it won't go in till late Monday or sometimes Tuesday

It's because if the bank Holiday, you should see it in thee at some point today or tomorrow. I tend to just transfer the money over from my bank account on a Monday morning after 9 and it tends to go in the same day.
