(Disclaimer: I don't have any kids. Take pity on my free time, long undisturbed nights, and disposable income!  )
Tools are an important part of your protection strategy, but nothing is infallible. There are plenty of dangers on the Interwebz that won't get picked up by any tools.
Whilst it's impractical to personally monitor your children all the time, it's probably a good idea to keep their computer in a "public" part of the house, with the screen visible to other members of the family as they pass. That way, you at least stand a chance of spotting the warning signs if anything untoward is going on.
I'm sure you've already done this, but it's important to let your children know that if they ever encounter something that makes them feel uncomfortable, they should talk to a parent / guardian / teacher, and that they won't get into trouble by asking you for help.
And make sure they know never to give out any personal details, and never to share any pictures or videos with anyone - or at the very least, anyone they don't know and trust IRL.
And that, no, Justin Bieber / Wotsisface-out-of-Wand-Erection / «insert-latest-tweenybobber-pop-star-here» isn't going to start talking to them online. If anyone claims to be a celebrity to try to start a conversation, don't respond in any way, and tell a suitable adult ASAP.

As I say, probably all things you've already thought of and handled, but worth reiterating just in case.

This is what I will try with my kids

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

We used a product called SafeEyes for 5-7 years.
Safe Eyes - Parental Control Software for Mac and PC[^]
At times the interface was terrible, but it always allowed them to:
1. see valid safe sites
2. kept them from seeing bad content
Advantages.
*It provides a way to set up filters based upon each of their profiles.
*Filters are mostly good as you just pick types of stuff you don't want them to see from categories.
*You can unblock sites so that even if they're marked bad for some reason.
*It even successfully blocks advertisements (adblock) for things you choose like weapons or lingerie.
*You can see all of their searches -- to see if they are interested in something they shouldn't be
*Searches can be filtered too.
*Once you install it on their PC / laptop they cannot take the laptop to another network and get through to bad stuff. Even if they take a laptop to a friend's network (overnight stay or something)
* You can remotely admin the software. -- very cool when they want to see a site and you're at work and it's obviously a safe site. Log in unblock the site and it will be available then.
Disadvantages
The software set up can be annoying.
Sometimes in the past the Safe Eyes site would foul up.
Setting up filters and getting it right takes time (but it's worth it)
Sometimes the software (on kid's laptop) just went crazy and had to be rebooted.
Check it out. It might be a lot better than what we had. Haven't used it for 3 years or so since kids are over 18 now.

I agree with Richard, nothing is 100%. IMHO, you need a hardware device. We (business) use a firewall that has content filtering, Application Control (social networks, WebMail, etc) and anti-everything. Expensive, and includes yearly licensing. So, they can't do facebook, Tweedlydo, Instantsomethingorother, etc. They just use their smartphones, but not on our network.
Probably next best thing is the suggestion for VPN services.

1) Microsoft Family
2) Set the device up for OpenDNS OpenDNS - Wikipedia
3) Make sure Windows Defender is enabled for both Real time and Cloud Based protection
4) Wait for the weekly reports from Family to see what things they search for!

In my opinion, it is better to educate than to restrict.
My kid is still a baby, but at least this is what I will try to do. If you restrict, then you will wake up the attraction to the prohibited (or whatever the english expresion is).

Not if you honestly describe to your kid what a shithole is now internet and that this restricting application will help her to navigate her way through this dangerous waters. It worked with my little girl.
But it's not very smart to put all your money on your divine ability to enchant small people's mind with your tongue (wtf did i just write?). My teenage step daughter, that moderately despises me, would let me go on and on describing basic rules of save internet surfing, until the next day will infect all our computers with formidable collection of spyware and viruses...again!

Well, mine started at 2 with her own computer (removed the windows key, and a few others from the keyboard).
So, if young enough. Consider putting browser in kiosk mode, and YOU creating links to every site she needs. A Whitelist approach.
Mine is 17 now, does not have social media, except now getting a snapchat account for graduation.
I still believe a Whitelist approach is best, and you should have to go there and add in what you want. Helping to develop the relationship that although there is stuff out there, it does not always mean it should be consumed or trusted randomly.
And she spent a LOT of time on sites like: IwasteSoMuchTime, reddit, etc.
In fact, it helped me to stay on top of what her world of influence is.

Hmmmm, the name Apartments doesn't make sense since you mentioned it. Why not call it Joinedments or Stuckments or Attachments since they are separated by a thin wall and yet so close to each other.

Because in America we park on driveways and drive on parkways.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
