Children's savings

My FIL has left £500 to both of my children and our initial thoughts were to deposit it in their baby bonds/ savings plans for the future. But each child has a different set up:

7yo - Children's Mutual Baby Bond (with Profits) £25 a month (not a CTF) - I can't work out if I can/ should pay the oldest's into the Baby Bond. Nothing on the CM website resembles the plan we have but I think we are already paying the maximum of £25 a month.

4yo - F&C CTF (with just CTF amount in it) and F&C Private Investor Plan £25 a month. From what I can work out, I can simply pay £500 into the Private Investor Plan.

So my main question is what should I do with the oldest's £500 and/or should I do the same with the youngest's so they are both worth the same in the future???:confused: Would prefer to invest rather than sit it in an interest earning account as we're talking about 11-14 years of investment!
