Hidden menu
I set a pin so my kids cant access the apps with out putting pin in.
But they cleverley have found a way to over ride this. As they access the hidden menu by going to settings pressing 001 and select button. Then they go to Reset section and and do a reset. This over rides all pins and remove pin requirment and they then access apps like youtube.
How can I stop this!!

Other than physically restraining them, you can't.

If they are that savvy, they will use their devices as a remote?

Q is a decade old and has a few years left as a product: it's not going to change now.

If they have unsupervised access to a smartphone then they can access far worse things than YouTube if they want to...
