Is the staircase planned on the left or the right?
The staircase itself should be a bit wider: 1 meter for the stairs plus 20 cm for the wall (structurally load-bearing is probably unavoidable, i.e. at least 17.5 plus plaster on both sides). But then the passage becomes quite narrow – better reduce the WC and the corner by about 20 cm downward.
I would give the bedroom/dressing area an extra exit and also add a sliding door to the dressing room itself so that after dressing you can go directly into the hallway without waking the one still sleeping with light and noise.
We found the idea much nicer that the staircase to the ground floor is on the left and you only actually look into the basement when you walk along the hallway on the right.
The stair width is 900 mm, wall at the stairs drawn with your dimensions (not exact mm).
Wider would certainly be good, but then it reduces our wardrobe and with 5 people we definitely need space here.
With the space conditions a 900 mm wide staircase is an acceptable compromise for us.
The only option I can think of to make the kids' rooms bigger is to box in the stairs. But unfortunately, this means losing daylight in the hallway:

Thanks for your suggestion, I already had this idea as well.
However, not much is gained.
On the contrary, you lose the light in the hallway, as you already pointed out, and I would like to give the kids all a room facing south. Mh...
How do you see the arrangement: main entrance, carport, garage?
Is everything too tight and the access to the house rather like a back entrance (especially if a car is under the carport) or is it okay?
