Also if you hear them in there talking and singing to themselves, do you go in or leave them till they fuss? If they haven't slept the usual amount do you try and lay them back down?

G naps in his crib after lunch. Usually goes down between 1 & 130. Sleeps til ~4pm. I can't remember the last time I had to put him back down mid nap. Sometimes he rouses and puts himself back to sleep. Sometimes when he wakes up he plays in his crib for a bit. I try to go get him before he gets mad and starts crying. Though sometimes he just wakes up crying so I go get him.
She naps before lunch at noon. Wakes up anywhere from 1:30 to 2:30. I let her stay up there until she starts fussing. Sometimes she just "plays" and I figure it's still downtime.
Lately around 1:30 for anywhere from 1.5-3 hours. Until about 3 weeks ago, she was on a short (20-25 min) AM nap and a longer PM nap, but we had a long travel weekend that threw her off schedule and since then she's been sleeping until 9:45 or later, which makes one nap easy. We usually go get DD when she's up...but she either wakes up happy after the right amount of time, or very upset after a too-short nap. She'll either put herself back to sleep within 2 minutes or there's no hope.
C naps from 1 to 4. If she wakes up happy and I'm in the middle of something I'll leave her while I finish. She usually doesn't wake up angry but if she does I get her right away.
Recently DD naps in the morning usually from about 9-12. Up for the day between 5-6. If she wakes up happy I usually get her right away and if she wakes up fussing, I wait to see if she will settle back down and sleep a little longer because that's generally what she needs.

R is sick a lot and reverts to 2 naps... 10-12/1 and 3-4 . Typically it's just a 2 hr though and times vary mostly late morning to early afternoon. We don't go in right away.
V still does two naps most days and is pretty cranky when he only gets one. A lot of days when he's with family they only give him one then he ends up taking a late nap at home.
Did any of you have to transition from one to two or did the little ones do it themselves?

I think DS is ready to go to one nap but gets up to early and doesn't stay awake long enough to do so . He ends up with two short naps and the afternoon one he fights and sometimes skips. But we're also dealing with a significant time zone change.
I'm going when he starts back to daycare next week and their one nap schedule will help with the transition at home.

She did it on her own. When we would try to lay her down in the afternoon she would either just scream or play in her crib and wasn't to crabby/tired so we just stopped trying.

Mostly this. Also mine LO has extreme FOMO. She does well though with one nap though, I think because it's in the middle of the day so not too long til nap and not to long til bedtime. She eats kind of a late lunch but I've tried waiting til after lunch and she doesn't take as long of a nap.

I had to help him along, IIRC. He was just all kinds of cranky and second nap was a disaster and bedtime was getting worse. So I spent a few days keeping him up longer in the morning (often by not being at home!) to push his morning nap back. Then wouldn't put him down in the afternoon. So I pushed the morning nap from starting at 930 to starting at 10 to starting at 11. And he ate lunch after nap.
After a month or so he was just playing in his crib til 12 so I started feeding him lunch at 11 then nap after. Then pushed back lunch. So now it's lunch at 12 and nap at 1. Unless he gets up really early, then I feed him early.
