Is this child labour

I have an Eliza Frost born 1849 transcribed on the 1851 census as aged 2 unmarried, servant laundry maid. I know they started work young in those days but this is stretching it a bit lol.

Has it been mistranscribed and should read 12?
Remembering: Cuthbert Gregory 1889 - 1916, George Arnold Connelly 1886 - 1917, Thomas Lowe Davenport 1890 - 1917, Roland Davenport Farmer 1885 - 1916, William Davenport Sheffield 1879 - 1915, Cuthbert Gregory 1918 - 1944

That's no surprise. Straw plaiting and other work carried on in the family home, would be done by children as soon as they were able.
And no moaning "everyone else has their own computer in their bedroom" either!
