There is no way to do this without taking away your access. If they cannot access the WiFi then neither can you.

Yes, and will require an app to be installed on the devices in question. Something like Next DNS may help with what you need (device dependant).

Unfortunately the Sky product intended for that, Broadband Buddy, hasn't been available to new users for several months, and Sky don't currently have a replacement.
