those ones with silver on the outside
Surprisingly I'm struggling to this, without a pretty hefty premium. Might just get a bog standard Dunelm roller and attach some reflective fabric, or actual foil to the back if it gets really hot.
Think you're probably right about the roller Vs Venetian thing though. Maybe I'll fit both!

If you can find some rollers to match your window, then use one of those guide kits to make it fully blacked out and fit next to the window panes you can mount the venitan blinds on the outer inside(?) of the window.

We started out with Roman blackout blinds but they still didn't block that much light so we've added curtains as well which makes a decent difference.

Ime Venetian blinds don't block light properly. I think the sentiment is good for the summer, but to block light you need blackout blinds. If you get those ones with silver on the outside face they do a good job of reflecting heat.
Dunlem is good if you're on a budget. Remember not to try use any of their screws though, buy proper ones.
Also remember to make sure any cables are trimmed short and made safe if in a child's room as it creates a strangulation risk.
