We have 2 iPhone 6S purchased new in January 2019.
We have not been offered any iOS updates since iOS 12. Software Update only has 14.4.2 available.
From what I have read elsewhere we should be able to catchup with iOS 12.5.2 but I cannot find a way to make it happen.
Any ideas why Apple isn't offering us the iOS 12 update and is there a way to fix this?
iPhone 6s
You cannot update to an older version no longer available to the phone model you own. iPhone 6s can be updated to iOS 14.4.2 and if you want to update you phone, that's the version you will have to update to. In other words, it is not possible to get iOS 12.5.2 on an iPhone 6s.

And you don't have a 6 or 6 PLUS, you have a 6s is what you've told us.
I found the correct page with the eligible models: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222
I now see that 6S only has 14.4.2 available as an update. Sorry for the confusion on my end.
I've been watching the user reports regarding iOS 14 and reported battery problems, particularly with the 6S. It's made me leery of updating even with a relatively new lightly-used phone with a lot of measured battery life remaining.

No.
That page is for iOS 12 users. Not those devices that can update iOS 14.
You don't have a 6s you have a 6.
Available for: iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and iPod touch (6th generation)
No iPhone 6S listed there.
