From September 2017, parents who are working and earning on average at least £120 per week will be able to apply for an additional 570 hours of free childcare each year. Children may also be eligible if a parent is on maternity, paternity or adoption leave, or unable to work due to a disability or caring responsibilities.
Did you read all the posts in the topic and the link already provided?

Do both parents work?

You clearly did not click on the NRPF link within the link I posted
From September 2017, parents who are working and earning on average at least £120 per week will be able to apply for an additional 570 hours of free childcare each year. Children may also be eligible if a parent is on maternity, paternity or adoption leave, or unable to work due to a disability or caring responsibilities. A parent who has leave to remain with the NRPF condition will not be eligible for this additional childcare. However if they have a partner who is entitled to apply and who has recourse to public funds then they may make the application instead. This is not immediately clear in some of the government information about free childcare but is confirmed in this document setting out eligibility for 30 hours childcare.
None of your posts in the past state when your dependents visas were issued which would determine when they qualify for ILR.vish86 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 11:31 amHi,
I have a question relating to this. I have gotten my ILR and my wife and daughter are in tier 2 dependent visas. They are going to apply for ILR next month. I would like to apply for 30 hours funding now as the deadline is 30th December.
Will me getting 30 hours funding have a negative affect on my wife's ILR application? In the visa website, it says dependents applying for ILR though Tier 2:
When you apply for settlement, you and your partner must:
- be living together in your own accommodation
- not be using public funds
Thanks

As stated previously, how does your wife qualify for ILR if she only came to the UK in 2015???vish86 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 11:37 amHi,
My wife arrived in the UK under tier 2 dependent visa on 25th September 2015. I have received my ILR recently and my wife is eligible to apply for the ILR as she has completed the required 5 years. If I apply for the 30 hour childcare, would her ILR application be rejected? In the UKVA website, it says 'You and your partner should not receive public funds'
Thanks

I would suggest your wife gets ILR first before you claim anything to avoid any risks. She could have applied ages ago already.
