This looks like it could be them in 1901:


Name: Florence Johnson
Age: 8
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1893
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: William
Mother's Name: Elizabeth
Gender: Female
Where born: Tottenham, Middlesex, England

Civil Parish: Tottenham
Ecclesiastical parish: St Paul
County/Island: Middlesex
Country: England

Registration district: Edmonton
Sub-registration district: Tottenham
ED, institution, or vessel: 10
Household schedule number: 2

Elizabeth Johnson 46
Florence Johnson 8
William Johnson 50
William Johnson 7
Frederick Lee 20


There's no Alice, but I wonder whether this could be her? --

Name: Alice Johnson
Age: 6
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1895
Relation: Inmate
Gender: Female
Where born: St Luke, London, England

Civil Parish: Greenwich
Ecclesiastical parish: Holy Trinity
County/Island: London
Country: England

Registration district: Greenwich
Sub-registration district: Greenwich West
ED, institution, or vessel: Henry Toye


-- Toye is the director of the unnamed institution. There are about 5 pages of people under the age of 19, many of whom are checked off as having a disability. Could Alice have been ill or disabled?


The Florence in the household above matches with this birth:

Name: Florence Johnson
Year of Registration: 1892
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Edmonton
County: Essex, Hertfordshire, Middlesex
Volume: 3a
Page: 353


Might be worth getting it to see. For Oct-Nov-Dec quarter 1892, that's about the only good match with the info you gave.
