Schoolmoney app and tax free childcare account

Morning all, posting in the hope that someone has figured this out and it's a simple process.

Can I pay for wraparound care, through the schoolmoney app (teachers2parents / eduspot), with my gov tax free childcare account? Surely I must be able to, as the app itself is advertised on the gov website?!

I paid for a one off session the other day and the only option I could see was to pay by card, which I did, but going forward I want to use the tax free account, for obvious reasons!

I've emailed the school last week but haven't heard back yet and I've got afterschool club to pay for!

Hi.

Did you ever find out if you can use HMRC tax free childcare with eduspot?

Thank you.

Nope. Not a dicky bird from school - in fact I've just realised they've never asked me for payment for the afterschool club she went to!!

Our school uses parent pay but I assume similar.
I send the money from my tax free account to the school and then email them with where i want them to allocate the money in my parent pay account.

E.g. if I send them £50 then I can ask them to put £30 in the breakfast club account and then £20 in after school club.

Takes a bit longer (about a week) to sort out so I just need to make sure I have enough in the account to cover that month.
