it might not be a good idea to wait til your wife has ILR to apply for a settlement visa for her daughter, who's looking after her daughter now, her grand mother? you know your wife needs to show she has custody and 'sole responsibility' for her daughter, custody is ok, but if you leave her daughter in the phils for near 3yrs b4 you apply for a visa, you could have problems with the 'sole responsibility' as the embassy could say who ever is looking after her now has it, and not your wife
