Need Advice on Sealing Wooden Floors

Hi,

Recently came across parquet flooring in our hallway.
Have already sanded the floor and it's ready for sealing and/or varnishing.
I would like to get advice on how best to proceed.
The hallway is subject to heavy use, dogs and kids, so I want to make it as hard wearing as possible.
I'm not sure what is the best/next step having just finished sanding the floor.
I don't want to darken the colour of the floor at all so a clear sealant/varnish is essential.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.
