"With my house I'm lucky enough not to have to pay rent, but this means I can't afford to move because I definitely can't afford childcare and rent out of my income.

The government provides 30 hours of free childcare across 38 weeks of the year to parents in England once their child turns three.
Ms Wilson gave up her job as a dental nurse when Rosie was born and now works part-time as a cleaner, taking Rosie with her. The government says it's working to bring down the costs of childcare through additional investment and training.
