Hundreds of thousands of parents missing out on free childcare - check if you can claim

Around 650,000 families claimed free childcare worth up to £2,000 last year but many are still missing out on the help.

This is 137,000 more, or 27% more, claiming the help than there was the year before according to HMRC.

The childcare support is available through the Government's tax-free childcare scheme.
