Kids Activity Report is a detail breakdown of what kids are watching, on what shows they spend the maximum amount of time, who their favourite character is and Netflix recommendations. The data pooled is for the ‘Kids’ profile on Netflix.

The report also comes with sections such as ‘joke of the day’ and colouring pages.
