Payments
How to pay, use credit and find your receipts.
Parent payments
Review the total and payment method before confirming.
Wraparound care and holiday clubs are booked through the Après School family system. Secure PonchoPay checkout, receipts, invoices and account credit are managed from the same account.
PonchoPay
Card and supported childcare-payment options are authorised securely before a paid booking confirms.
Account credit
Any available balance is shown in your account and applied through the Après School checkout.
Understand your payment status
Card, Tax-Free Childcare and vouchers
Checkout offers card payments through PonchoPay and supported Tax-Free Childcare and childcare voucher routes. Choose the method shown for your booking and follow its instructions, including any card guarantee. A payment started is not the same as a confirmed booking: check the saved status in your family account.
Pending or interrupted payment
If checkout is interrupted, open the existing booking in your account to check its status and available payment action. Only a confirmed booking confirms your place. Do not assume a bank transfer or a return from the payment page has completed the booking.
Top-ups and account credit
Use Payments & credit to top up and check your balance. Credit covers outstanding staff-added care first; the remainder is available for eligible bookings. Checkout shows the credit used and any amount left to pay. A top-up adds funds; it does not itself book a session.
Invoices and receipts
Open Payments & credit in your family account to find invoice and receipt records. If an email is delayed, check the account for the current payment and booking status.
Before paying
Do one final check at checkout.
Before you confirm, check the school or camp name, dates, child details, fee, voucher options and the terms for that programme.
- Correct school, camp or activity selected.
- Dates and sessions match what you need.
- Child details and collection contacts are up to date.
- Payment method, receipt and voucher handling are clear.
