What time is reasonable for children to be playing loudly in the garden at the weekend

[Chexton]

Ok, loaded question at the top. We have very loud neighbours with young children (2,4,7) who seem to shout and scream in the garden from (what I consider) quite early.

We have young children also but are constantly woken by garden noise.

So, what is a reasonable time in the summer to chuck your kids out into the garden to play?

I take my toddlers in the garden from about 7/8am. If they cry or scream or moan or anything excessively go back inside (We are currently learning quiet voices). We have such little good weather I want to make the most of it. They do not have screen time etc. I love seeing them bare footed being children outside. It is my garden, I am going to use it!

Yeah. Not everyone wants to start their day with my kids. Some people have gone out of their way to make sure they arent up at arse o clock with kids.

8am, although I'd hope for 9 on a Sunday!

8am is reasonable imo. I have a terraced house so can often see or hear my neighbours either hanging washing or having a smoke etc. They're usually awake. On occasions they havent appeared, 8 is still acceptable time for adults to be up. There is such a thing as ear plugs.
Sunday 8:30 id say. I think your neighbour at 6:45 is very unreasonable, even more so if not supervising.

8.30 weekdays
10/11 weekends

11am? I'm not far off thinking about heading back in for lunch then!

@TulipsAndPancakes 🤣🤣🤣 this would have to apply to everyone though...DIY enthusiasts, lawn mowers, people with irritating pets....

The noise act lists quiet/night hours as 11pm to 7am....think this may increase to 8am on weekends as far as construction is concerned but not 100%. Outside of that it all feels like fair game tbh. Mr next door can mow his lawn at 7am, down the road are entitled to let their insanely loud dogs out around the same time, and kids can be playing!

Personally think 9am. When it’s Easter and we do the egg hunt in the garden I don’t let them out till 9. Our NDN has had her DC out shrieking at 8 before but I think it’s too early even though we’ve been up ages by that point. We have couples without children on the street so it’s a bit selfish.
