Hmm.. so I move the sub to the corner at the front of the room (like to the left of the left main)?
Yes... and as Naut suggest, you might like it better being out from the corner a little bit. What I would do there is download REW and take some measurements to see which response will be easiest to tame and which will give you the best extension. Generally the corner is better. The measurements will tell the story.

The rear surrounds should be in line with the seats firing at right angles to the walls - Do I mount them up near the roof angled down towards the seats or have them on floor stands at ear height?
Look at Naut's diagram... they should be slightly behind the listening position and above ear level. I would not angle them down, simply mount them with the back flat against the wall.

As for the seating I am thinking about getting a quote to get the doors changed to swing out rather than in then I can center the chairs and move them 3ft or so closer to the screen rather than further away.
Again, consider Naut's diagram and his suggestions for the distances. You may be fine as you are.

I will have to check the WAF before I move the front mains 2ft into the room, and thinking about it I can see the kids eyes light up and push them over.
They don't necessarily have to be 2' out into the room, you can try 1' to start with... just get them out from against the wall. The kids can tip them over from the side as well... besides, that's what the paddle is for...
