I'm unsure how to answer this question.

With low wages and the increase in inflation since lockdowns, being in work that pays enough to cover costs is a necessity rather than a want.

For single parents, an assigned support woker to help find childcare that suits working hours of a job they applied for would be good.

It's an extra chore to find appropriate childcare , and to do visits to see if the child feels comfortable, usually within a short timescale and often a childcare setting is quickly picked by the parent , but does not work out, as the child is unsettled.

There is no compassion in "care". It's what's convenient and affordable.
