Can a child with Tier 4 dependant visa claim Free childcare?

[rachel_23]

Hi,

As the topic, I have a child who is 3 years old now and she holds a Tier 4 dependant visa on which it states 'no public fund'.

Then can I claim the 15-hour/week free childcare for her? Besides, when she turns 5, can she go to schools free of charge?

Thanks!


Regards,
Rachel
