My own kids lay quietly in their beds with no entertainment and were fine for an hour. If nap time is longer than that you can maybe have an hour of laying quietly and then an hour of books or books on tape etc. I typically habe some sort of activity available for the second hour if they are not able to keep being quiet. There are also really cool “quiet bins” I saw on Pinterest. Maybe you could make those for the daycare to use? Each day there is a new bin of reuseable activities.
I would actually ask if it's distruptive.... nope? no issue.
I don't care if kids nap (don't get me wrong for some reason that random day they all do is like a treat.... haha)
but mine rest quietly for a bit and then I have a bin of busy bags ONLY for rest time that they can chose.
Not quiet? No busy bag.
Seems to stop 99% of issues with KIDS.
Parents and napping on the other hand? I have one who wants to cut my 2yo's nap, who is out the entire time and begs to lay down/sleep more.
