Child care vouchers with older children

I have been getting £243 per month of child care vouchers since my daughter first started nursery school. She will be leaving her junior school in September and I'm not sure if I should stop getting them or not.
I have built up a surplus in the account, so could stop at Christmas and still pay for the breakfast and after school clubs for 2020.
Have people found much to spend the vouchers on once their child goes to secondary school? I think my daughter will be walking to her Grandmothers after school so will not need the 'childcare' element. All the extra clubs at my school (Rugby, Cadets etc) did not charge fees when I was at school.

check with her secondary school if after school activities charge and whether child care vouchers can be used for them.0

She does not have one yet, but I will give her top choice a call and try and find out.0
