Assuming that the children will be in the back seats, I think the Yaris will be too small for the bikes. The children will grow while you have thr car and the bikes will be replaced with bigger ones.
Have a look at a Skoda Fabia estate: go for a petrol one as most of your driving is in the city. A Nissan Note might also do, as the previous version (that you'll be looking at) is tall, and the bikes can go upright in the back.
A Toyota (Corolla) Verso would also be fine for children and bikes, but you said you wanted a 'fairly small' car. The smaller Yaris Verso wasn't popular in the UK (possibly due to its chronic ugliness) and wasn't on the market for very lon/g - so you might struggle to find one.
