Indeed, good luck with the application. Its disappointing that so many people object to the noise of children laughing and enjoying life, but judging by the recent buggy debate, not surprising. Forest Hill is becoming Nappy Valley 2 due to the excellent schools and reasonable house prices and it does seem that many of the long term residents of this area have a problem with that.

I lived opposite Christchurch school for years; I heard the children playing and arriving and leaving school. To me it was a nice sound and evidence of life and fun. I'd love to see the evidence of 'false/ overrepresentation of demand having waited for over 3 years myself to secure a nursery place. The list of objections is just really 'we don't want it here so we are throwing the book at it'. Shame.
