Two questions there. Answers :-

• You need not apply for ILR for the children. But do appreciate that you getting ILR does not make the children British, so you cannot apply for British Passports for the children until they are British. You next need to submit a form MN1 for each of the children in order to apply to Register them as British, the applications being under section 1(3), an entitlement application.
• if you can get an appointment for same-day service at a PEO, go for it.
