Applying for citizenship for children with EU settle status after 12 months of getting it

Dear group,

We got our Indefinite Leave to Remain (EU Settle status) as parents in May-2019.

However, we applied for our two children later on, and they got their settle status in Aug-2020.

We are currently applying for the british citizenship via naturalisation, as more than 12 months have passed since we were granted.

However, we have noticed that our children got theirs less than a year ago!

So, shall we put them with us in our current application?, or do they have to apply some other time and separately from us (after Aug-2021)?

Thanks

For children's registration (MN1) there is no requirement to wait the full 12 months after being given Settled Status, so can apply with you now.
