Yes you are being absolutely selfish.

I am not saying that Forest Hill Road is dangerous. Just that cramming children in two up two down shopping premises and suggesting that's much better than Piplings' setting is ridiculous.

The Elms is a detached house on Forest Hill Road so much better suited for a nursery than Excel (ie: does not have a huge window shop window) opening directly on the street) Excel is also attached to residential premises potentially causing much more noise to neighbours than Piplings.
