what about my daughter isn’t she eligible to stay and live in the UK with me with out applying for a ViSA.
Nope.
The general rule for children born outside the UK to non-British citizen parents is that the child follows the same immigration pathway as the second (less-privileged) parent. The child will need to apply for the same visa as the second parent and will need to apply for ILR with them, before registering as a British citizen when at least one parent has become or is applying to become a British citizen.
Had the child been born in the UK, they would have been either a British citizen automatically (if you had ILR on the date of the child's birth) or would have been entitled to register as a British citizen when you acquired ILR.
If your German spouse does not have pre-settled status in the UK, then yes, you will need to sponsor them on a spouse visa, meeting the usual requirements of an Minimum Income Requirement of £22,400 per annum (as you are applying for a spouse + child), English language test, etc.
Alternatively of course, you could look at moving to Germany. German and EU law place much more emphasis on the unity of the family, whereas the UK's approach is that if you want to live with your non-British family, you can look at living with them abroad.
That applies even to British citizens. See
this thread of a British citizen trying to sponsor their wife from Turkey.
