Your children will have to withdraw Indian nationality once they acquire British Citizenship.
Article 9 of Indian Constitution says that a person who voluntarily acquires citizenship of any other country is no longer an Indian citizen.
You'll have to fill in form MN1 for both children and apply for their registration as British Citizens (Naturalisation is for adults). You also have to include your ILR/British Passport.

Best thing is to apply through Nationality Checking Service via your local council.
