Same here. I'm in Ontario. Unfortunately a close friend of mine had her baby taken from CAS last wk. but fortunately I was able to get her in my care being a close local friend. And when they came to do the interview to make sure the house was safe the first thing they asked was where will she sleep. So I brought her upstairs and said I have five playpens from daycare and only two being used so I plan on just using one for her. They flat out said oh no. If u want to get her in your care ull need a bed or a crib. They said they are PLAYpens. They are meant to put a baby in a safe spot for a small amount of time so the mommy or caregiver has her hands free but they are not meant nor safe to sleep in. I was like urgh!!! So I took my two yr old daycare girl out and onto a cot. Got a bed for my friends baby and will have to get a crib for my 1yr old daycare girl, thankfully IKEA has small cribs so I won't have to get a full size one. If I were with an agency I wouldnt be able to use Playpens either. My do have the straps to secure it to the bottom. But one of my one yr olds still got in under there one day. Lol.
