To expect that mums will not let their 10 year olds go rampaging over the 0-4 section in soft play?

I was at a large soft play centre recently that has several different areas to suit children of different ages so all can play safely. My ds (16 months) loves it in the 0-4 section.

Unfortunately some mums seem to think that its OK for their 10 year old children to go rampaging through the same 0-4year section which makes it unsafe for my ds to play on. While I accept that 10 year olds don't need the same level of supervision that 16 month olds do, I don't think it should be my responsibility to ask them to play in the area for their age while their mums drink coffee oblivious.

AIBU?

last time ds1 was in respite we took ds2 and ds3 to soft play and were both rather incredulous at the amount of coffee drinnking and newspaper reading going on (having learned the ropes with ds1 find switching offf when out and about tricky- try to a little because think overpouncing isn't good, but struggle with it).

this is my pet hate too, I constantly ask the staff to supervise the play areas, but they are mere children themselves.I just tell the children to get out anyway, and all usually scarper! However I am a gobby cow, so hate to think that how quieter mums cope.
