Savings for under 18's

Hi, i oppened a Nationwide acount in July for the 5.00% intrest. Today I got a letter telling me that the intrest rate has gone down AGAIN to 4.55%, 4.60%, 4.65% tire rates. I will only get the 4.55% as i have less than £10,000 in it.

5.15% - ICICI - Must be over 18
5.15% - Alliance Leicester - Must be over 18
5.00% - FirstDirect.com - Must be over 18
4.90% - Newcastle - Must be over 18
4.85% - Cahoot.com - Must be over 21
4.61% - TheAA.com - ?
4.55% to 4.65% - Nationwide - Must be over 16 - This is what i have
4.50% - IF.com - Must be over 16

Just been to all these websites and most will not alow under 18's to apply, im not 100% shure about the AA and IF.com is worse for me. Does anyone have any other surgestions?
