Childcare can definitely be made much more efficient. Here in Quebec we have 7$/day and 8.5$/day childcare, the total budget is 2.5 billion dollars for an 8.6 million people population.

I’ve heard getting spots can be exceedingly difficult.
Funded, but not really funded so readily accessible.

Getting spots in a CPE can be very difficult. Getting spots in a family daycare that's not fully regulated is really not that difficult, unless you live in a really underserved area. Where I live, there are ads for spots in family daycare, and these aren't that uncommon. It's not what's best but it's better than having to quit your job.
It could definitely use an extra 30% of funding, but there is also a severe lack of trained staff for high quality childcare because people just don't want to deal with that.
