Child can’t access apps prior to Downtime Schedule
Why can’t my child access certain apps, including Safari, prior to his Downtime schedule is turned on?
There appears to be a bug in the Apple mobile device, with the Downtime Schedule feature.

Hello God_Bless_You_All,
This page can help out with providing some details on utilizing Screen Time: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Be sure to check out the "Allow built-in apps and features" section to see if it's set to disallow access to the affected apps:
You can restrict the use of built-in apps or features. If you turn off an app or feature, the app or feature won't be deleted, it's just temporarily hidden from your Home Screen. For example, if you turn off Mail, the Mail app won't appear on your Home Screen until you turn it back on.
To change your Allowed Apps:
1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions.
3. Enter your Screen Time passcode.
4. Tap Allowed Apps.
5. Select the apps that you want to allow.
Cheers.
