Call You and Yours: How are you managing your childcare?

As more free childcare hours are rolled out, tell us how you're managing.

More free childcare has been made available in England - this time it's 15 hours a week for working parents of children aged from nine months.

The cost of childcare is higher in the UK than most other countries. Many parents don't earn enough to pay for it, and have chosen to give up work instead. We want to know if you, your finances and your career have been affected. Will these new free hours make a difference to you? Or is it too late, or unavailable where you live? Perhaps you're a childcare provider trying to make your own ends meet - what's the impact of this policy going to be on you?

We'd love to hear from you on youandyours@bbc.co.uk. Please include a contact number. And from 11am on Tuesday you can call us on 03700 100 444.
