Childcare element of tax credits, how is yours paid?

[babycrazy1706]

My son goes to breakfast club before school so I can get to work on time and I put a claim in to tax credits to get some back. I got a lump some of about £80 when he first started in May and I'm wondering if I will get another lump sum or if my weekly payments will go up to match the rest. I haven't noticed a rise in my weekly payment so I'm guessing it will be another lump sum? Does anyone know how it works ? Thanks

My weekly payments increased.
