Do you pay maintence via the CSA? if so you may get a reduction for having her if it meets their criteria ( sorry you would need to google what the nights per week is the threshold for a reduction)
But to actually 'get something' no. But I'm sure having her will be great for you and for her. Enjoy it.

This is when a paying parent’s child stays overnight with them.
In these cases, the Child Maintenance Service makes a deduction to the weekly child maintenance amount based on the average number of ‘shared care’ nights a week.
The ‘paying parent’ is the parent who doesn’t have main day-to-day care of the child. The ‘receiving parent’ is the parent with main day-to-day care of the child.

For 6 weeks you wouldn't be entitled to any benefits i'm afraid. I#m fairly certain the 6 weeks wouldn't come under the shared care either. It's more of a case of talking to the mother of your daughter to ask her to contribute to her keep for the weeks she's with you.
