To take more adults than kids to a 'movie for juniors'?

Today I booked tickets to cineworld to see Paddington as a 'movie for juniors'. It will be myself, my dh, our 18yr old and our 11 yr old. So I paid for 3 x adult tickets and 1 x child ticket. All priced at £2.50 each.

I have since had an email from cineworld reminding us it's a movie for juniors showing and that every adult should be accompanying a child. It doesn't say that we can't go but the wording is a bit confusing. Surely there's regularly going to be two parents taking just one child etc. We technically are all being accompanied by a child, just not a child each!

Aibu to go with 3 adults and one child? Or should I cancel?

I work with kids. Depending on the shift and the risk assessment for each attending child, there is often more adults than kids. We don't wear lanyards or a uniform so it's not obvious that we are from a ressi home.
We've never had an issue

Update.... we went to the cinema, scanned the QR code and went straight in! There was a mix of families there, ranging from 1 adult and 1 child to 2 adults and 5 kids! There were also families with more adults than kids, like us.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Enjoy your half term!
