600hours AND tax free childcare??

Hi
We are in Scotland and our daughter will soon turn 3 and be eligible for the current 600 hours free childcare (was meant to be going to 1140 hours in August but delayed due to Covid). However she attends nursery full time so we will still have to pay the unfunded hours. Currently we pay her nursery via HMRC Tax Free Childcare account where we benefit from the £2k per year (get £2 for every £8 we pay in). Does anyone know if we can still use this account after she gets the 600 hours funded place so that we can benefit from tax free top up to our contribution or does this cease because you are getting the funded hours?
