Hello to one and all.

I have a bit of a problem.

Near my abode is a childrens playground, and sometimes, if the weather is agreeable, the local days nursery brings a band of its merry inmates down for a play session.

"Nothing to see here" you may well be thinking. However, you would be wrong.

The toddlers don't play nicely, they play a screaming game, the game only seems to have one rule "You must all run about screaming, the loudest wins"

The staff just sit there, looking into their raspberries and texting their boyfriends (I guess)

Its starting to drive me bananas , whats the best approach to get the staff to tell the children to play a better game?

They arent being anti social, they are being kids.

Unfortunately screaming and toddlers go hand in hand!
My 2 year old has near perforated my ear drums at times so id just learn to ignore...........screaming in the house is one thing but outside with a bunch of other like minded toddlers is just what happens.

I think that moving to at least the 16th floor of a tower block might be in order:rotfl:

My house backs on to a nursery and coincidentally I have a pub opposite out the front.. I have more issues with the pub than the nursery.. (and more issue with the scrotes next door!)

I find it is the STAFF winding the children into a frenzy with their own screeching and screaming than the children. I have called the nursery on 2 occasions to request their STAFF desist with their own behaviour.. children I expect it from not grown women and men.

Re the pub.. we haven't had fighting but we have had people playing instruments in the street after midnight, taxi horns at all hours, screeching, screaming and shouting from both genders which is MUCH worse! Give me a flock of happy playing toddlers any day!

I currently have 2 teens, 2 toddlers and 2 girlies behaving like banshees in my back garden.. happy noise is good, whining noise and I'd be fit to string them up!!

Surely you knew the playground was there when you moved in? And surely you know children make noise?

Yes, you do. But the problem is you, not the rest of the world.

I dont agree with the last bit.

Its like saying if you live near a pub you should expect drunks pucking and fighting on your street. This is not the case. Children and adults behaving anti socially should be curbed for the benefit of all.

These children are below the age of criminal responsibility nie try though

And yes if you do live near a pub you should expect trouble, and if you live next to a football ground you should expect it to be busy on saturdays, and if you live near a hospital you should expect ambulances to be coming and going at all hours.

Sorry but you cant expect kids to play quietly all the time, its what kids do

It seems the op is not alone - other sad dodos of this world don't like children playing outside as well
Either complain to the nursery group or shut up and get some earplugs

Depends on how long it goes on for. The kids over the road were doing that particularly ear splitting screaming for over an hour today, it was bad enough for me listening, can't imagine how bad the headache was for the parents.

This is going to be unpopular with most parents on here, but why should the rest of us have to listen to kids screeching as though in pain for any length of time? I wasn't allowed to do it, it is antisocial and rude to expect other people to have to put up with it. I don't expect kids to be seen and not heard, but that screeching has the same effect on me as nails on a blackboard, I can't stand it. The high pitched woohoo from one of my neighbour's sons though, always makes me smile whenever I near it.
