I am not one of those people who think the tv is a bad thing but I also don't like to have it on all day. I do however do like some above have mentioned and I have it on first thing in the morning and at the end of the day for the last child or two.

My daycare is in the basement but I have started staying upstairs until all the children have arrived and than we either head outside or go downstairs to play. I have had a couple new parents who even though I tell them to come on in, will ring doorbell and wait until I answer it. It is easier for me to do this if I'm upstairs still so I'm not leaving the children by themselves.

At the end of the day, I like to clean up and I have found the last child will leave without doing so. I now clean up the daycare and either go outside until pick up or come upstairs and watch tv.

I would bring up your concern to your provider and see what she says. If she has a playroom, I am betting that she spends most of the day there but is using the tv room for short periods of time.
