Nipper noise

While I am all in favour of nursery children enjoying the outdoors (Friends of the Scotsman, 27 June), when the nursery is a converted house in a residential area, the allday high pitched noise of children playing can be extremely intrusive in an otherwise peaceful neighbourhood. While everyone would wish small children to enjoy themselves and be happy, nursery owners and staff need to show consideration towards their neighbours.
