Hi

I use EE broadband and have the parental control on to limit my daughters access to the internet I use the schedule so that she cannot access broadband at certain times

I have added her phone and two tablets but I regularly find that she is able to use the broadband when she shouldn't be I go into the list of ungrouped devices and her iPhone appears there again and again as well as in the grouped devices It's listed as being offline for varying amount of times so I have to add it again She now has about 17 iPhone devices in the group and I still find it happening everyday! 

I've no clue why or how to fix this??

@Cheznay Just take all the devices away when you need to restrict the Internet usage, the Parental controls is just not fool proof!

 @Cheznay   That’s because she got this set to rotating not fixed on her device.   This means she’s safer online as her IP address will change so cannot be tracked as easily.  
 Your options

change that to fixed but she could change it back if she knows what she doing.  

do as @JimM11  says 

or switch off your WiFi when required.

This does come across as an unnecessarily oversensitive response, to what seemed to me a very valid suggestion.
