You're about to listen to a BBC podcast, but this is about something else you might enjoy.

My name's Katie Lecky and I'm an assistant commissioner for on demand music on BBC Sounds.

The BBC has an incredible musical heritage and culture and as a music lover, I love being part of that.

With music on sounds, we offer collections and mixes for everything, from workouts to

helping you nod off, boogie in your kitchen, or even just a moment of calm. And they're all put

together by people who know their stuff. So if you want some expertly curated music in your life,

check out BBC Sounds.

Good afternoon. School holidays are upon us, and although that brings joy to many children,

for working parents, it can be a nightmare, what to do with the kids whilst at work.

According to the children's charity, Corum, the average cost of a week's holiday childcare is £138 per child. And we can all do

the maths. Two children, four weeks, that adds up to over £1,000. And for many, particularly

low wage earners, that is unaffordable. So we want to hear

from parents. What do you do? How much does it cost? And do you have any suggestions as to ways

to entertain and feed children on a tight budget? And grandparents, if you are the summer holiday childcare, we want to hear from you too.

So please call Moneybox live now on 0-3700-100-144. Geographic charges from landlines and mobiles apply, or email moneybox at BBC.co.uk.

Full-time working parent, Nicola, earns just over £30,000 a year.

She is facing a large bill for the cost of care for her 11-year-old daughter this summer.

For the summer, in total, it's going to be more than 700 pounds, which I have to find in

advance on top of school uniform costs. I've reduced my working hours because it was originally

going to be about £1,200. And there's just no way that I could find that in advance. And of course

that means you're not earning as much.
