All European Economic Area (EEA) nationals enjoy free movement rights in the EEA.
This means that they are not subject to the immigration rules and may come to the
United Kingdom and reside here in accordance with the 2006 Regulations.

They do not require permission from the UK Border Agency to enter or remain, nor
do they require a document confirming their free movement status. An EEA family
permit is a form of entry clearance issued to the non-EEA national family members
of an EEA national who is in, or intends to come to, the United Kingdom in order to
exercise a Treaty right.

both for children aged under five, had not.
