I understand what you want to do, but don’t understand what error you are getting.
Try calling
create_component() instead.
if ( !$cast(child, create_component(get_type_name(), $sformatf("m_child_class%0d",children.size() )
`uvm_fatal("ID","Failed because you didn't register this class with the factory")
