Currently the browser history can be deleted after visit so I can't see where my kids have gone, also if ancount has a created to access YouTube I wouldn't know, I need to know all this info.

@Hshah1 there is no way you can see details of sites devices on your Sky netwok have accessed as the router does not log IP addresses even if it did it would be pretty meaningless. 

 

If you want to control your childrens access you need to install parental protection software on their devices. Sky's basic Broadband Shield can control access for any device up to a point but is pretty simple to get round. A parental protection system that is 100% kid proof has not been invented.

That level of logging is only available on devices intended for education or business premises, and tends to require a reasonably expensive bit of hardware (or its cloud-based equivalent) plus a subscription of several thousand pounds a year.  For personal identification (rather than by device) you'd need to issue everyone in the household with unique user name and passwords and have them log in, and any such system can be evaded by using cellular data.

 

There's potentially an intermediate solution using DNS filtering, again with a subscription, and typically that won't work with a standard ISP router.
