Below you can search this for the rules.
Appendix FM Section 1.0b Family Life

Please read page 13-14 and somewhere in page 40. It will show you there that Ella can apply 28 days before her 30th month.

You can also Google this E.LTRP 2.2

Hope that helps
So, after all the advice on here & reading over & again all the relevant documentation & guidance notes, I went ahead & booked an appointment at Croydon. Total cost including NHS surcharge £1811.00. We are there on Sept 12th. I decided to completely ignore the advice I got from UKVI on the phone. I'll keep you updated.
