Partner found work.....will we get any top ups?

Good morning
My partner has finally found a full time job - he's been working p/t for ages. He will be earning £7.40 p/h so £15,500 annually. I am confused with all the benefit changes! I know we will still qualify for child benefit - we have 2 children aged 5 and 2. My youngest doesn't qualify for nursery funding until April and I pay £30 a week! That's 2 sessions. Will we get any working or child tax credit? I'm not being lazy - I've looked at direct gov etc and can't fathom it! I assume our housing benefit will go and council tax bills will rise - any advice is appreciated as all the advice centres are now closed! Many thanks in advance, Emma
