More details to this question:
One set of my kids grandparents have been a very negative influence on them. They are 3 and 1 years old and every time we have allowed them to go to the particular grandparents house, the 3 year old comes back repeating terrible things that "nana" had said about us or other family. The grandparents tell the little girl they are going to take her forever and we are bad people. So we decided from now on the visits need to be in our home so we can monitor what is being said. We told them they can come any time of any day as long as they let us know ahead of time and they can also call to talk to the kids whenever they want. They are now saying they are going to take us to court so I judge will make us send the children with them instead of having to come to our house to visit. Will a court make us send the kids with them or are we following the laws by allowing them to come visit whenever they want?

Since you do not say, I presume that the parents of the children are in an intact household, and that no court anywhere has ever issued an order of any kind on the subject.
If so, then the grandparents do not have any right to even ASK for visitation, in or out of your home, beyond whatever access you choose to give them. NRS 125C.050.
If there has been a death or divorce, or certain other facts, the presumption is still that you can do precisely what you wish, including all denial of contact, and it is an uphill battle for any third party to overcome the presumption that the parent's wishes are to be followed, as a matter of Constitutional law.
