'Kinderzimmer' (children's room) is a compound word made up of 'Kinder' (plural of 'Kind', child) and 'Zimmer' (room). So it literally means a 'room for children'.

Pay attention to the prepositions and the case: 'im Kinderzimmer' (in the children's room, dative) describes a location, while 'ins Kinderzimmer' (into the children's room, accusative) indicates a direction.
Die Kinder spielen gerade im Kinderzimmer.
The children are playing in the children's room right now.
Typical verbs connected with the children's room describe what you do there or what you do with the room. These include 'im Kinderzimmer spielen' (to play in the children's room), 'das Kinderzimmer aufräumen' (to tidy up the children's room), or 'das Kinderzimmer einrichten' (to furnish/set up the children's room).

bedroom
'das Schlafzimmer' and 'das Kinderzimmer' are both rooms in an apartment or house, and you can sleep in both of them. The difference lies in the purpose and the person. A bedroom is generally the room where adults, or also one person, sleep. A children's room is specially set up for children; they often sleep, play, and study there. Learners may confuse the words because a children's room can also be a sleeping room. If you only mean the room for sleeping, 'Schlafzimmer' fits. If you are talking about a child's room, 'Kinderzimmer' is more precise.
