This guidance is stricter than law. The law permits exercise including with one other person not from household. That applies to children as much as it does for adults. There is no reason in law why any child (whether they have a garden or not) could not play in a playground. /1

Another crucial point is that children under 5 are not included in the limits for taking exercise with one other person. So there is no reason in law why two parents from different households could not be together exercising with their 4 children under 5 /2

Also included is "where exercise is being taken as part of providing informal childcare for a child aged 13 or under, one or more members of their linked childcare household" /3 legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/1374…

Sorry, the under 5s being excluded from the numbers is this bit (though it's v hard to follow)
