Excellent. Thank you very much. That is pretty close to what I was thinking anyway, go for something that can do most everything and swap tyres according to use.
My only concern would getting up the Col do Notting Hill with 9kg of baby and 3kg of baby seat so I think that a 1x9 may be the way to go. I'm not sure that the £400+ notes can be justified for the Alfine, but you never know what a bit of finance can talk you into. ("for only another £13/month you can get the Alfine....")
