That staples price doesn't incude VAT, you can get it cheaper including delivery at ebuyer:

If it's going to be used mainly at home I wonder if she may tire of the small display after a while? If you could stretch your budget a little you could get a full size laptop:

Thank already have a 16inch laptop, i think its a smaller screen that shes after. good deal on ebuyer though. didn't realise staples didn't include vat, thanks for that. this netbook seems to have some good reviews.

That pc in the first link is very good but I would make sure it will cover exactly what you need it to do. You mention games and while it plays the flash games you have listed, the 1GB of RAM is going to be maxed out pretty quickly. Netbooks also struggle while multi-tasking. Id maybe look towards a Dell Inspiron with some cashback through Quidco etc or go to the Dell Outlet instead. Plus although hes only 9, I wouldnt fancy staring at a 10" screen for very long.
