Parents are calling on the Welsh government to offer the same financial support for childcare as England.
In March, it was announced free childcare for working parents in England would be expanded to all children under five by September 2025, to help get parents back to work.
A petition calling for this to be matched in Wales gained 6,000 signatures in 48 hours.
The Welsh government said high-quality childcare was already being rolled out.
Mother-of-two Jade Lily, 30, from Cardiff, started the petition after hearing the experiences of other parents through her Instagram page Mum Life.
"I saw that when the UK government announced their childcare policy, a lot of Welsh parents wrongly assumed it would apply to them.
"I have waited since March to find out what the Welsh government plans on doing with the money given to them by the UK government to go towards childcare and there has been no update."
