One assumes you’re familiar with and have read thoroughly the blurb on parental controls and all the links therein?

You can not control individual devices. The Parental Controls are set at a Network level not a local level.

If they are on they are on for every device that is connected through your BT Hub.

You can set times when they are turned off or if you would rather, when they are turned on but again this affects everything on your home network.

Keep in mind that if you are trying to stop a computer literate child using the Internet just with Parental Controls you will find it easier pushing water up hill.

There are ways around all Parental controls such as connecting to a neighbours network or using 4/5g mobile networks plus a host of other ways.
