A nursery I have been to in the past have used me in the after school club. I wasnt too happy about it, I know my DPP is for under 8's, but can I be used in an after school club with 9, 10, 11 year olds?

I am working a maternity cover in an FS unit, having done a PGCE for KS1 and KS2 and worked with years 1-5 in the past. I am having the best time of my life and would love to stay with this age group. I am concerned that the start of EYFS will work against me and was wondering if there are any courses I could do to demonstrate my commitment to this age group? Or will experience and LA courses be enough? Thanks for your time.
