This could be an immature red-back spider, Latrodectus hasselti (family Therediidae) - see http://tinyurl.com/4o882p5 for an image.

It looks indeed the same...
Gosh, they seem to like playgrounds...
Luckily neither me nor my daughter got bitten until now. I hope it stays this way...

Thanks for your help with identifying all the spider and insects :-)
