Hey, how long are enhanced DBS taking atm? Mines been two weeks at stage 4 now. Also can you view it online once it’s been completed?

About 8 weeks, longer if there are queries/problems (e.g. you've lived at lots of different addresses).

There are five stages of an enhanced DBS Check

• Stage 1: Application received and validated. ...
• Stage 2: Police National Computer (PNC) searched. ...
• Stage 3: Adults' and Children's Barred Lists. ...
• Stage 4: Search of records held by the police. ...
• Stage 5: DBS certificate printed.

The most timely stage of an Enhanced DBS Check is always Stage 4, how long it takes the police to check local records, As noted this can depend on how many addresses, names a person has had. My experience is historic but it took between up to 3-5 working days (on average 2-3 days) to complete the first three stages. it then took approx 1-2 days to complete stage five. 
You can see some historic data on how long it was taking each police force to complete stage 4 at the below link, this isn't up to date as only goes up as far as Spring 2021 but should help with your query.
