Drop an ugly misbehaving group of children here (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

playground

'group of children here' is the definition.
(a group of children might play in a playground)

'drop an ugly misbehaving' is the wordplay.
'misbehaving' indicates an anagram.
'drop'+'an'+'ugly'='dropanugly'
'dropanugly' with letters rearranged gives 'PLAYGROUND'.

(Other definitions for playground that I've seen before include "Recreational area" , "amusement venue" , "kids' recreation area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
