The Child & Dependent Care credit can only be used to offset your tax liability.  If you did not have any taxes due, you will not see a refund for this credit.

 

I have attached a link to the requirements to claim this credit.

Also, since you are in the Live software, you can also select to have an Expert look at your return to confirm that you are taking whatever credit you are entitled to.  You will see this option on the top right hand of your screen:
