I don't think 15 hour free child care for 3 year falls under the public fund criteria.
My understanding is that, 15 hour child care falls under the early education criteria.
For which, every child is eligible.
However, the 30 hour free child care falls under the public fund and thus 1 of the parent needs to be a citizen or on ilr or avail the same.
Senior members may please confirm the same.
Thanks aja,
That's even my understanding but not 100% sure of it.
Please help, as the childcare.uk site only suggest based on the salary of both parents not taken only consideration the visa/settled status.
Swift response and experience from other visa holders members with toddlers going nursery school will be highly appreciated
