It would be my understanding that if the Slovakian parent was exercising treaty rights or has permanent residence that the child would automatically be British.

If a parent has PR, then baby will be British. Exercising treaty rights without PR is insufficient.

I stand corrected, the child can subsequently apply for a British passport once the parent has obtained PR

Almost. A non-British child cannot apply for a British passport without first registering to become a British citizen.
