And if necessary we would arrange a chapperone but I do not see it being a risk for them just to go through security and passport control unaccompanied as these areas are heavinly policed and secure. Many airlines still accept minors as young as 12 unaccompanied and with chapperones, I have known children as uoung as 8 to travel alone although I do not agree with this.
Easyjet does not accept unaccompanied minors for travel, even on the say-so of their mother at check-in that their father is already waiting airside to meet them, or that you are about to arrive imminently on the inbound flight.

There is no "chaperone" that you will be able to hire to accompany your children from check-in until your arrival, unless that "chaperone" is your wife holding a ticket for the same flight as the children, such that the airline thinks she will be flying on with the children. However, for her to then hand over the children to you and fail to board is likely to cause a security alert and the offloading of the then seemingly unaccompanied children, so I would not recommend this either.
The best and most logical course of action is for you to arrive the day before and for you to check in with your children and accompany them all the way through their journey.
