Children of Time
The Children of Time are moving against us.
The Children of Time is the name given by the Daleks to the group of people, consisting mostly of the Doctor's companions, that worked together to defeat the Daleks, stop the Reality Bomb and send the Lost planets of the Medusa Cascade back to where they were meant to be, in The Stolen Earth and Journey's End. Davros uses the name to describe only the Doctor's companions, the distinction apparently defined as anyone who has traveled in the TARDIS and aided the Doctor at least once, but the name may also include the members of Sarah Jane's team and Torchwood Three, who also appeared in the episode. It is also unclear whether the Doctor and his cloned self would also be included in the group, since it may refer only to Companions and possibly their allies.
Members
When referring to the Doctor's Companions, the Children of Time consist of:
The above individuals all appeared in the current series, acted as the Doctor's assistant, and traveled in the TARDIS at least once. This group also participated directly in the confrontation aboard the Dalek Crucible.
A more inclusive definition of the term would include the members of Sarah Jane Smith's team and Torchwood Three who supported the effort from Earth. These individuals either had no previous encounter with the Doctor or never traveled in the TARDIS. This

Jones refers to the above individuals as "The Doctor's Secret Army", possibly distinguishing it from "The Children of Time".
The broadest definition of the term would include anyone who opposed the Daleks during the battle. This would include the Doctor, his cloned self, Dalek Caan, and the members of UNIT.
