Good luck in getting them trained - they need to be kept in a smallish size area until they are using the tray, as tiny kittens can't always get there in time, like small children, they are prone to accidents. I wouldnt' allow them unlimited access to the house, there are too many danger areas to kittens, and they can get into all sorts of places (although admittedly so can adults)
Please spay your cat

Deffo get a seperate tray for them (or your other cats may get issues lol) It should be shallow so they can get in easily. Wilko sell them for about 79p!
I would continue to keep them in one room until fully trained, once in the habit of random pooing its hard to break! Its also easier to know where they are, at 5 weeks its so easy for them to get stuck somewhere.
Some kind of barrier at the top of the stairs would be wise aswell as although kittens are quite bouncy a tumble of that height could really do damage  :(

Argh! You really need to litter train them or as adults they will be dirty butter!
If they are that bad then getting a dog cage for them to live in will teach them to use a tray and respect their living quarters. Use a clay litter.

Please make sure mum doesnt get out as they can get pregnant again whilst nursing a litter!
Will you be getting mum spayed when her milk has dried up?
