Ohhhhhh, heck no!!!!
Around here, EVERYONE under 3 has quiet time for 2 hours after lunch. The kids are in separate rooms (1 in each, in a playpen). The older kids are asked to do quiet activities like reading, puzzles, games, etc. Or this is when I will pop in a movie or turn on the cartoons. To put the child to bed I will make sure that they are fed and watered (lol), change the diaper, and one at a time they go from booster/high chair to sleep areas. They get a quick snuggle/hug/backrub and a little song that I sing for each of them, and then down they go.
Some of them cry at first. But over time they figure out that it's always time for a rest after lunch. I have 2 little ones that ASK to have "seeps" now, haha. The most frustrating thing for me is not getting irritated when one of them wakes early and cries. Some days it wakes the others, and those are not good days.
It is utterly ridiculous that you are asked to give up the only free moments you have to yourself, in order to allow children to never, ever learn to self soothe. And how do they figure this helps all of these small children who are trying to sleep with everyone all bunched up like that?? I have not worked in a large facility, so someone else may be able to offer some more insight; but that is one thing that I did not like/understand about a "day care". How on earth do the kids get proper rest with so many of them all together? I know some of the ladies here have been in those positions, so they can maybe answer that?
Unfortunately, that is the only advice I can give you. I would continue doing what you are doing, unless your licensing agent is saying you MUST have them a certain way. But if she was just "suggesting", it's a suggestion that I would probably ignore.
