To be honest - I try to have every thing 'cleaned up' daycare wise before the last kid leaves unless for some reason they all go home 'early' all at once .... I try to end they day outside' so that the playroom is cleaned up, the kitchen is cleaned up after snack cause I do that while they are 'attempting to be dressing' themselves and than come and help them as needed. However if we are inside as soon as I am down to 1-2 the playroom gets cleaned up are they are doing 'kitchen table' quiet activities while I do 'clean up' activities needed, do up my daily logs and so forth and at 4:30 if I have any children using 'extended hours' care they read a couple books at the kitchen table and I start prepping my dinner, complete my daily log of the day and check emails and so forth until they go home ... at 5 pm I finish cooking dinner and we eat.

After dinner - dishes, laundry, personal hobbies until there is something on TV I might like to watch ... however joy of having no wee kids at home my nights are basically MINE
