Sorry, but I am confused. Is this about vaccinations, or about hygiene?

Yes.

The reasoning is that unvaccinated children carry more diseases and are therefore more likely to leave their germs all over the playground which therefore needs to be cleaned - hygienically.

The logic has a certain simplicity to it, but the word "bollocks" keeps popping into my head for some reason.

The idea of worrying about 'germs' transferred by kids on a playground that is probably covered in dog shit and definitely covered in pigeon shit is laughable.

Could this be rural prejudice against travellers? surely not...
