Are there space requirements?

"About the sleeping space, because you're on your own there isn't any regulation but, agencies encourage children should sleep on the main floor and all together (using cots or playpans);"

- do agencies and or parents prefer that children sleep in same room? Mine r in separate naps rooms upstairs with one monitor in hall. Tx

Agencies prefer it for evacuations (like fire) they're together and easily accessible. I have children nap upstairs in 3 different rooms with a monitor in the hall, and my agency (in NS though) was ok with it as the minimum requirement was smoke detectors and a monitor. Parents definitely prefer separate rooms right now, as they were all waking each other before and being overtired and cranky for them at supper. I do plan to get them back in one room at some point... it's just not a priority.
