Sorry but it’s the parents responsibility to make sure their kids don’t run off. Having an access point at the SW end would make a lot of sense

No one's saying it's not. What they are saying is that a design choice was made to mitigate any worst case scenario.

It's the driver's responsibility to ensure that the car doesn't crash, but we still have seatbelts and airbags installed, as a design choice, to mitigate any worst case scenario.
 
When it comes to issues regarding children and theme parks you can always tell on here who is a parent themselves and make sensible points based on their own experience, and those who aren’t parents but come out with these wild takes on things they don’t really have experience of.

The idea that a children’s area at a theme park is badly designed because it only has one way in and out and shouldn’t be like this because it’s the parents responsibility to look out for their children completely misses the point. You can be a very vigilant parent but it’s so easy for an excited child to see something and run or toddle off in the blink of an eye towards it whilst you are say setting another child up in a buggy or have your back turned for a moment and everyone that is a parent will have their own experience of briefly losing site of their child for a panic inducing moment whether that be in a shop or a play park.

Fortunately there’s nothing terribly exciting in CBeebies land

I have visited the park with young children, and unless you’re at the sensory garden (which itself is one way in / out) there’s no real reason for kids to be unsupervised anywhere near either the current or previous extra entry / exit point. Those areas are also not really anywhere you’d need to stop
 
With Project Play, I'm hoping the likes of Flying Jumbos and Tiny Truckers get replaced with rides in the new area.

This way, the park can add in more rides for everyone which the park seems light on. I've just seen the "Family Explorers" tab and it only has 7 rides on the list.

It might also mean places for Monkey Swinger and/or Tuk Tuk Turmoil to go.
