My children's rooms are out of bounds too (even to one mindee who is 5 who has come for playdates in the past). The only room I use upstairs is my bedroom where a travel cot goes up 3 days per week. Only the child going in the cot comes upstairs. I agree, my own children give up enough without having their bedrooms overrun too.
One parent wanted her child to sleep in total darkness (she currently sleeps in the dining room) and wanted me to put up the cot in my son's bedroom. Answer was a big NO (my son's bedroom isn't any darker than the dining room anyway).
We have a downstairs toilet so there is no reason for mindees to be upstairs anyway (apart from at nap time).
