Gingernuts, your comments alone are enough to put me off. I lived next door to a large school for several years and didn't experience anywhere near the disruption or inconvenience you are ascribing to a small nursery. I went into the nursery. There were fewer than 20 children there, a fair proportion of which were babies who were therefore rarely in the garden.

Can't you see that the way you are describing the nursery makes it sound like a place where people with children would be wary to live? If my children each have a friend round to play, that's six kids in the garden making a noise-probably the same number as Piplings had at any one time. So why wouldn't I worry that someone might complain about them?

I personally would never object to a nursery next door to me. I currently live near a hostel which has never caused the slightest trouble. I would be very surprised if the nursery I saw in action affected house prices in any way.

Thanks to others for your replies. We are thinking carefully about this move. And I am embarrassed at my misplaced apostrophe.
