If you mean a Chen type application, then your rights are still very limited. Read chapter 8 of this document:

Same EU ruling applies in Germany. But the Germans may take more persuasion to apply it.

[Directive/2004/38/EC]

Sometime things are very simple, but can be very difficult if we don't know.

According to EU Law, your child (daughter) can live any where in EU for Work and Studies. In your case your daughter is 4 years old, it means she is eligible to go for school, she can join any school in EU, and according to law you can apply for Family Permit (Free of Charge) to that country where she is going for studies.

But that does not give the parents the right to work in that country, apparently.

Plz check UK home office & EU websites, rules are already described there in detail.

You will have a right to live and work freely.

Also don't follow Mrs.Chen, according to law n court ruling she can live n do business in UK or EU member states, but she don't have permission of work.

On what basis?

The Chen ruling is the only way in which parents of an EEA-citizen can live in an EEA state. And it does not include the right to work.

[Directive/2004/38/EC]

The Chen ruling is the only way in which parents of an EEA-citizen can live in an EEA state. And it does not include the right to work.

Financially dependent parents are already covered in the core definition of "family member" in Direction 2004/38/EC. In those cases there is no need to invoke the Chen ruling.

Direction 2004/38/EC specifies a minimum base which all states must implement. Member states are free to offer more generous rules if they wish. Ireland and the UK have chosen not to do so.
