If the children need the NHS, it's better for them to have valid visas. They may be able to secure a visa under family rules (or even outside the rules) and they should be able to settle if you get ILR
Your case has become complicated as you have been incorrectly advised by your solicitors and made several bad choices.
Non-UK born children need ILR to qualify for citizenship. The children should have been included with you in the ILR application to benefit from Section 3C while you are waiting to prevent any overstaying. Now that they have been overstaying, their prospect of getting citizenship is affected. You also falsely assumed that you can escape the tax amendment issue by switching to the family route but you should have resolved this when you applied for ILR back then.
