Hi,
Here is some information for you.
You should use soft pedal (upright piano) after 11pm because the guideline is you should control noise which is causing annoyance to any person at night (11 p.m. to 7 a.m.) or on a general holiday
Noise from domestic premises or public places includes noise which is produced in domestic premises by sources such as television sets, air conditioners or dogs, and noise produced in public places by sources such as radios, hawkers or loudspeakers.

I would recommend not to practice too early on a public holiday. After 10 am would be very considerate. But the best way is to speak to your neighbours and talk to them about the situation.
Practicing in the morning is a supurb for kids as long as they are not dozing off
Hope this helps
