A Conversation for Being a Non-residential or Single Parent

I am a volunteer at a summer play scheme and I am unsure about the ages for legal requirements.
The paid worker who is 'in charge' seems to put a 'definate' age on the kids and then changes it daily!!
We do days out. Some can be there and back locally within 2 hours and others are further ventures of up to 5 hours.
How old do the children have to be before they can go without a parent.
Some days kids come and she turns them away saying 'not without a parent' yet will let others come another day who are the same age.
My questions are...
Is it 8 and under that need a parent?
or
Is it under 8's?
Do they need to have had their 8th or their 9th birthday in order to come without parents?
HELP PLEASE before I end up saying something and making a fool of myself for being wrong!
