Government provision of childcare needs to be more specifically targeted to help ethnic-minority families, a Daycare Trust report to MPs has said.
The charity said the present national childcare strategy had benefited all parents, including ethnic minorities.
However, it added ethnic-minority families "felt the strain" of high costs and lack of flexible childcare.
Black families had to spend a higher proportion of their income than white families on childcare, it said.
