Tax Credits

Hi All,
Me and OH have been talking and just wondering if anyone can help us. We had our second son in November, around the same time our ltd company that we both worked for was failing. Needless to say we had to close in January. I was very lucky and walked into a job (25K), we spoke to a helpline and sorted some Child Tax Credit out we get around £368 a month on top of the £138 we get for having two kids, the helpline got my wife sorted with the Maternity Allowance which has been very helpful.
Question is the MA finishes in July, at that time can my wife claim for anything else, she is considering finding a job but with Child 1 being 3 in August and Child 2 not 1 till November the cost of childcare etc make it difficult.
Many Thanks
