As the lawn matures it will get a thicker thatch layer which will stop most weed seed germinating. You will have to do something about the current weeds they wont go away themselves. You could spray with bin-die by amgrow/chemspray or just use a kitchen fork to lever them out. The weed problem will happen again in august/sept too btw.
