Unless you are married to a British citizen, you have to wait the mandatory 12 months on ILR before you can apply for citizenship.

If the children were born in the UK, they can apply on form MN1 to register as British under section 1(3) of the nationality act. It is NOT 'automatic' that they get it simply because you got ILR now.
