My son has bathed alone since he was 2 or so. We're around and keep an eye on him, but we don't sit there with him. I'm not sure at what age exactly I'd be comfortable with him having the door closed and complete privacy? maybe soon if we wanted it.
DD started having baths on her own at 3 years old. When she is not in the bath with me (she loves baths with mummy), I am always around, can see her in the bath from the main bedroom and we always chat.
Definitely old enough! At five they are starting to develop a little more modesty and self awareness. She may feel too 'grown up' to bathe with her brothers. My DD bathed by herself at three or so. I just kept popping in to check on her and she was always in earshot.
