Are you missing out on up to £2,000 a year to help with childcare costs? Here's how to claim it

You might already be claiming child benefit to help you with the cost of raising your kids, or maybe you are eligible for the childcare portion of Universal Credit. But there are hundreds of thousands of parents who are eligible for another form of support from the government, and aren't yet claiming it - tax-free childcare.
