Hello!
Thank you for posting a question about waking children in the long day care setting.
We do not have any specific recommendations around waking children, as our recommendations focus of safe sleep to prevent Sudden and Unexpected Death in Infancy, and the question of whether or not to wake children at parents’ request is more relevant to your regulatory requirements for sleep and rest than about sleep safety. However, you may find some useful information through ACECQA around having respectful conversations with families, and regulator guidance around sleep and rest: https://www.acecqa.gov.au/resources/supporting-materials/infosheet/safe-sleep-and-rest-practices
We hope this is helpful.
