I was in your situation, I decided to take care of my son as my wife got a job in order to be exercising the treaty rights. I was also able to combine work experience (part time) and taking care of my son. We got a part time baby sitter since we are still on waiting list in a community creches.
While on work experience I got a paid job for full time and we still have our baby sitter.
Honestly, it is expensive but I just decided to pay off all my monthly salary on babysitting until we will be able to get a place in a community creche.
We are not on benefit. We did applied for FIS but no decision on that yet. Don't even know if they will approve since I have a paid job which disqualify us from the FIS requirements.
So I may advise that your wife get a job while you take care of your son and you can as well reach an agreement with your employer (WPP1) to see if they can accept you for part time.
Good luck
