Those with seperate daycare space in basement

[jodaycare]

I have a mini kitchen in my basement with a microwave, small mini oven and a mini fridge. If I have to use the upstairs oven I just run up, put the food in and run back down. The children are safe because they play area is gated off. We eat all snacks and lunches at the kiddies table in the playroom

Same here (except mini oven). I don't know about your DCKs; but once mine see any signs of food being prepped it's like they haven't eaten for a week (on the positive; I've never seen such a quick tidy up as occurs at mealtime!). So, the quicker the better to just have it ready to serve.
