What time do your kids go to bed?

As the title says: what time do your kids go to bed? How old are they? Do they have a strict bedtime or is it flexible.

I have two DC. DD3 goes to bed at 6.30pm and DD4 goes at 7pm. Every night.
This bedtime seems to work well for them. They get up at 6.30-7am and don't nap during the day

NDN kids (4 and 2) stay up much, much later than this. They were still running around their garden at 10.30pm the other night (I was in bed!). Am I being too harsh? Should I let them stay up a bit later in the summer?

I have strict bedtimes for the youngest, 6, start at 6.45, wash, teeth, book, back scratch and then I’m out of there, and I don’t go back in. Usually takes about 20/25 minutes.

My eldest is 10, she goes up at 8, sorts herself out and now doesn’t want a book or to read with me. She usually reads herself for half an hour but it’s lights out at 8.30

My 5&2 year olds go to bed at 7. Earlier if I can get away with it. Doesn’t really change much at weekends or holidays, unless we’ve got something specific on. I can’t be doing with tired grumpy children running around in the evening!!
