The features that were built in to the hub

may not work reliably any more with some modern devices and can easily be bypassed by tech savvy kids. Don't know if the Hub 5 has equivalent features.
Depending on the age of your kids, and the devices they are using, you might be better limiting access on the device itself.
Teenagers will inevitably find a way of bypassing whatever measures you implement to a greater or lesser extent.
Google "how to bypass parental controls", or any similar phrase.
or see the video instructions on YouTube.
Use yourself to control your kids
For absolute certainty with kids, this could be the only viable option ...
No. Only viable option is to remove the child’s device and lock it in a Faraday cage.
The child or the device?
I assume you have a virgin media connection. Please be patient and that feature will show up soon enough. You won't be able to choose the devices that cannot connect, or indeed the times, but given a chance you will soon have a connection that prevents Internet access for indeterminate periods on random devices.
The only problem is, once enabled it can never be disabled.
