But ISCED doesn't define an age. It just says "this is a kindergarten",
but not: "this kindergarten admits children who are <insert an age> or
older" for example. In my opinion there should be some tag (let it be
age_group, or min_age:usage or something else).

This was exactly what I meant in my initial mail, where I invented
min_age:usage and min_age:admission for this purpose.

A casino or betting office might have legal restrictions, which prevent
underage people from entering. But a school, kindergarten or playground
normally has not, otherwise e.g. parents would be locked out of these
places.

Normally you can decide, if it's a legal restriction by looking at the
type of amenity (playground => guidline, casino => legal), but I could
imagine, there are edge cases (maybe adventure-playground with legal
restrictions for people under some age, because it's too dangerous).

But overall I'm currently quite happy with the non-differentiating solution.

Cheers,
Florian
