 As a mum of four, standing in the school playground is a bore, we mums tend to talk to everyone and anyone especially if the kids are late. This mother may well find you attractive, but its more likely she has simply seen you standing alone alot and decided to befriend you. I do it alot, if I see someone male or female standing about alone, I will go over to them and chat, after I get to know them a bit (may take some weeks especially if male) I bring them over to the other mums an dads, get them in the group if you like, though I wouldnt class myself as 'one of them', as they tend to be quite clicky, but I dont like to see people all alone.
Best thing really is to just ask her, for a start if she is with anyone or if she is single. if she is married or dateing someone, then stear clear. But then If she is single ask her out for a drink or something. She can only say no at worst. ;) xxxx

 It's a little too difficult to tell as you say in that situation, so try and organise another.
There's no harm in asking if she'd like to go for a drink sometime. With the kids I understand time and availability are an issue, so even the suggestion of bringing her kid(s) round for a "playdate" (wonderful american notion of bringing the kids over letting them run riot while the adults chat).
Remember, the worst that can happen is she says no, and the situation does not develop, take that little risk and the possibilities are there.
Good luck and feel free to mail me
