The answer to that is usually family. Having your family around is a great source of free or very low-cost childcare.

This was specifically for a single parent working full time.
Realistically you need help from family otherwise.
In the broader picture what often happens is that one parent, generally the mum, gives up work or drastically reduces their hours because that makes more financial sense than working and childcare.
This then knocks on to career progression, gender pay gap, etc.
