A crèche has opened across the road from our offices and every time when I arrive at the office I hear the noise of children playing and making a noise. It is such a happy sound and as we get older, I guess we learn to be more adult, and disguise our unhappiness as well as our happiness.
The pure unadulterated joy of children, their laughter and the screams of delight are very pleasant to listen to and can always cheer one up. I assume it also means that there is quite a demand for these types of services in the Parkwood area now that there are a lot more townhouses because from the day it was opened until the raucous started was not very long – and there is such a multitude of voices that I assume that it is fairly full already.

The sound of children does really brighten my day. I'm just glad that my child does not attend the crèche across the road-I'd probably watch her every move and end up stalking my own child!

I love children so much and seeing them playing and jumping up and down shows me that they don't care less about what is happening around them.

The sound of happiness without a single worry in the world. Adulthood is not as much fun as I thought it would be when I was still a child and dreamt about "one day when I'm big".

Hearing the noises, laughter and happiness of the children across the road brings out the child in me. I would do anything to go back and be a child and live a care free life.

Back to yesteryear when worry was a word you had no idea of, and the only stress you had was that you still didn't know how to tie your shoe laces and your friends were going to laugh at you. I would give anything to back to those stress free, worry free days where joy was the only option for the day and an afternoon nap was lined up after a hard day of play. I have an absolute soft spot in my heart for children and to hear their laughter, and their joy.. just knowing that they are in their own little world, brings me much joy too. I love the fact that there is a crèche across the road, makes the working environment so pleasant when you hear their little voices. Bless the owners of that crèche.

The laughter of children can bring joy to any dull day, it always brighten my day especially when I see my sisters children laugh and smile.

Since the opening of the Nursery School across the road and hearing the delightful sounds of the children playing, all I long for is to go back to childhood and the days when you didn't have to worry about adult responsibilities!

I have to agree that it so nice to go outside and hear the children playing and laughing. Wish that I could put my baby in this particular school, what can be better than crossing the road and saying hello to your child in lunch time?

I love the sound of my daughter giggling. There really is no better sound. That sound can turn any bad day a good one. I agree with Lucretia, why do they have to grow up. I think this is a prime spot to open a crèche especially with all the businesses around.

The crèche across is a prime example that happiness has no price. I too love the sound of the laughter of the children and often find myself smiling just walking past the crèche. The children are oblivious to the big world around them - why do they have to grow up and become people.

Sounds like the kiddies over at the creche are all having such a fun time! It makes me nostalgic. I remember the good old days when everyday was a new adventure.
I think its a great reminder to let your inner-child out once in a while, set aside the stress and just be happy in the moment!

I love children!!! I always have... Their laughter makes me happy :) It is a bit distracting while we work but I guess it is a pleasant distraction...

I love hearing the tittering of the kids across the road. I don't mind kids but cannot stand kids who are jackanapes, I wouldn't say I hate them or dislike them but the ones that "scream-cry" for absolutely nothing, pull a vein under my skin. I just pray to God that when I have kids, my kids are as peaceful and graceful as my niece and nephew :)

Children, ahhh don't we all wish we could go back to a care free, stress-less environment, not a care or sense for the world. The crèche definitely has chosen a great area to locate Its business. And occasionally the sound of their innocence is comforting.

I have always loved babies and children and love the sound coming from the creche. It could also prove very convenient for me soon so I am happy!!

Luckily I have earphones and music to drown out their noises.

I agree, there is nothing better than children playing and making noises. People who doesn't have children will never be able to understand the joy of being a parent! My little baby is the most precious thing in this world for me.

I am extremely fond of children and how innocently they play and the happiness they find in the simple things. I do envy the constant happiness that children are filled with and their disregard for the many things that make us as adults unhappy or short of happiness in our daily lives.

Its so wonderful to hear the sounds of children! Children find happiness in the smallest things that us as adults over look.

A great area to open up a crèche! Especially because of the price they can ask to simply send your child there for a month - its quite ridiculous but they are able to charge it because of the area they are situated. Not to put a damper on things but I often see the main gate open throughout the day which is troubling as the children can just run out onto Jan Smuts Avenue!

Very delight to listen to nothing makes me more happy to hear my own daughter laughing. Creches now a days are very expensive, not to talk about the snack they have to take with and all the other luxuries. But it is worth every penny. I'm sure every mother will agree.
