Welcome to the forum and to the daycare world. You CAN do this! I like having a young group and they all grow together year by year but when they all leave at the same time and you have to replace them all it's kind of traumatic. But first things first.
When I have lots of babies I kind of think of it as an assembly line, change them all, feed them all, get them all to bed, you know? But your best bet will be to take it slowly and forget about crafting or anything like that until you are several months in and have it all under control. You will improve and streamline your methods and routines month by month. Do food and any activity or craft prep the night before and have everything organized for your mornings.
I wouldn't want to have 7 myself but I have some friends with daycares who have one or two of their own children and they amaze me the way they handle 7 children, so yes, it can definitely be done. I hope you are having them join you one at a time because sometimes transitioning children can be exhausting.
Ask us anything and we'll try to help keep you sane, lol!
