30 hours free child care

Hello there,
With reference to 30 hours for working families. We both currently earn above the threshold. However we are trying for a second baby. During maternity leave, my wifes pay will obviously drop and she will no longer earn the required amount. Do we then lose our 30 hour entitlement? Are there any protections for when wages take a dip?
She earns pretty much dead on the requirement for 30 hours free childcare

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.
If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.
The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.

You can usually get 30 hours free childcare if you (and your partner, if you have one) are:
- in work
- on sick leave or annual leave
- on shared parental, maternity, paternity or adoption leave"
