Why these ages?

One review says the swing and spinny suited their toddler but there was not a lot else for that age group, and judged the site would be great for 5 to 10 year olds. Equipment includes a multi play structure, climbing frame and mini playhouse, fitting that primary age range best.

Was sheltered from the strong northerlies we had today. The swing & spinny were great for my toddler, but not a lot else for that age group. Would be great for 5-10 year olds I reckon
