How to Apply and When to Claim<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHMRC is urging families to apply online via the Childcare Choices website<\/strong>, where parents can check their eligibility and begin the application process. Once approved, the scheme allows parents to deposit money into an online childcare account, with the government topping up every \u00a38 deposited with an additional \u00a32, up to the maximum benefit amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
