childrens bank account

i am wondering if anyone has any information on an easy access bank account i can open for an 8 year old. This is for her use to deposit her pocket money or gifts from Granny but can take it out easily if she whats to spend some on a toy or clothes.
i have looked around but a lot of what i read is for savings only and i already have one of these set up.
thanks for your help.
