How old are each of your children?
And when did child 1 and 2 do their tests (date)?
Link below is the list of approved tests. They need B1 level for naturalisation.

Esol is no longer accepted, see link below. GCSE and A Levels also is not accepted.

They will need to do one of the new tests on the list.
Have they done Life in the UK?
Do they have 5 years residence and all within the absence allowances?
