Are we entitled to any Tax Credits

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help.
We have just had our first child (9 months ago). I earn 41k per annum. My wife has been off work for 9 months and has been getting full Maternity Allowance (she did not earn enough to get Maternity Pay) - she then decided she did not want to go back to where she worked previously. Anyway, she has since, a wwwk later, found another job, 27 hours per week, pro rata she will be earning approx 10k per annum.
So in total the household income will be 51k, but I was wondering if we were entitled to any tax credits? - we are going to have to pay for a childminder - and I am aware we will get free hours per week when he is two.
Thanks for any help!
