I have not tried it, but:

"Gnome Nanny is an easy way to control what your kids are doing in the
computer. You can limit how much time a day each one of them is
browsing the web, chatting or doing email. You can also decide at
which times of the day the can do this things. Gnome Nanny filters
what web pages are seen by each user, so you can block all undesirable
webs and have your kids enjoy the internet with ease of mind, no more
worries!"
