Tier 2 Dependent Child Nursery Hours

Hi
I have Tier 2 visa, my husband and my 3 1/2 years old daughter are my dependents. Visa was issued in March 2017 for 3 years. I have a permanent job in NHS.

Our visa saya no access to public funds. My husband is not working on regular basis because he has to look after my daughter and is self employed.

My daughter has joined a nursery class in a state school and will be attending 30 hours a week in coming days.

Please advise if we are allowed to send her for 30 hours for free or we are only allowed 15 hours or no hours at all.

Thank you

You don't qualify for 30 hours if neither parent holds ILR.

Not sure about 15 hours though.

15 hours is fine.. but a strict no for 30 hrs.

Thank you for your swift replies. I have got a chance to meet the school representative this morning and she says if the child is in private nursery then the hours matter, in a regular school like ours, we don't get funding by number of hours but by number of pupils attending.
Please advise if this makes sense.
Thank you

I think if they are not receiving funding you should be ok. In private nurseries, they ask you to get a code from your local council to get access to 30 hour funding if you are eligible. 15 hours is given to every child (3-4 years old) regardless of their status.
