If I go back to work full time????

Please can someone help me, if I go back to work full time but on minimum wage, will this effect my CHILD tax credits???? I am a little confused and dont really want to go back to full time employment and find out I will only be earning a little more then my child tax credits if I loose them all, surely it won't be worth it???
Can anyone advise:confused::confused::confused:
Thanks

    If you go back to work and your children are young then you will still get your child tax credits aswell as working tax credits. I stil got child tax credit when i worked and come of benefits.
