I wouldnt be too happy to find a Nursury opening next door to me, if it had previously been a family home!! Contrary Mary may love the noise (are children ever quiet?) and general disruption but that's not for everyone. If it's a matter of social conscience then perhaps one of the many empty businesses in Forest Hill would make a better choice (e.g. Louisa House?). There is a shortage of decent family housing in Forest Hill and this should be maintained as a family home.

Not being able to find child care isnt the reason children roam feral. I think this is an over the top response.
