Working tax credit for 14 week job

Hi, I have the opportunity to start a new job, and due to my health issues, my initial contract is for 14 weeks. If I manage that I will be offered a further contract.
When I have used the entitled to calculator, it says I work too few hours to get help with childcare (16 hours) but when I enter the job as not having an end date, I do qualify.
Can you claim the childcare element of etching for working 16 hours in a job that is initially scheduled to only last 14 weeks?
Many thanks in advance
