As neither of you have settled status (ILR or PR), you are not entitled to claim Child Benefit.

[CR001]

Child benefit is public funds. You are not permitted to claim as you do not hold ILR and yes, if you do claim, it can affect your visa/ILR.

I am not sure if you are asking about the £20 per week child benefit or free child care. You need to state clearly what you are asking about.
