I think if it is a large group would make sense a rental hall. But I'm also a bit confused.

When the Ministry of Education came up with the new regulations one of them being no more play dates in a daycare "home" (no more than five children per household); wouldn't a large group party at home be considered against that ruling?, and it wouldn't matter how many adults are present.

My guess is, maybe it is okay if you do it out of your work hours and every child is accompanied by their parent (s).

I have a friend also homedaycare provider and we decided to rent a hall for our play dates, due to this regulation. ANY idea?
