There are many possible explanations including that despite their xenophobic tendencies the Time Lords opened their world to refugees from the Time War. That's a profoundly unusual interpretation of Day.
 * Moment: And you're going to use me to end it by killing them all. Daleks and Time Lords alike ... Gallifrey. You're going to burn it and all those Daleks with it — but all those children too. (Children dressed in costumes of "Time Lord red" are seen playing.)

The scene and the episode don't make any emotional sense if they're not Gallifreyan. The costume choice makes no sense if they're not Gallifreyan. This site doesn't require the dialogue to specifically say, "These children are biologically of Gallifrey" in order to justify a statement that they're Gallifreyan children. Visually, in terms of the way the scene is edited and costumed, they're unmistakably "of Gallifrey". In terms of visual media, this site treats the way a scene looks as equally important to the way the dialogue is phrased.
