You can get 15 hours free child care. You will have to speak to the nursery/school where you are planning to place your child.williamrezendex0906 wrote:Hi,
I`m from Brazil, and I`m living in UK since November with Tier 2 General visa.
I would like to know if I can request 15h free childcare for my baby when she complete 3 years old or if as an immigrant I cannot request it.

Our visa card says NO PUBLIC FOUNDS for all of us.
Thanks a a lot,
Why do you think one cannot claim 30 hours on the basis of their leave? From the link, the restriction seems to be that both parents need to be working if it's not a single parent situation and each earning more than £120 p/w but less than £100k p.a. Am I missing something?Gnanasekar wrote:You cannot claim 30 hours free child care as there are number of restrictions which are again here childcarechoices.gov.uk
@gag285 - Let me draw your attention to the government document here https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... ldcare.pdfgag285 wrote:Why do you think one cannot claim 30 hours on the basis of their leave?

I agree that not everyone is correct but when there are facts listed it is advisable to do one's own scrutiny.iworker wrote:after all it is an open forum and anyone can say what they want. they dont have to be correct.
If this doesn't work in your favor you should check the tax free childcare option which I presume is open to all irrespective of immigration status.gag285 wrote:Thank you @Gnanasekar. I read this link:

and hence doubted the interpretation. We pay for our daughter's childcare and were hoping to cut some costs after she turns 3. Wishful thinking!
