I can put away at least £1000 each per year...what would you suggest???
Please help!

Hi,
You can get Savings Acc that if you pay one of your benifits like ctc you get a real good rate. I'm sure the woolwich had one but can't find atm, some rates are low you could look at isa'a for them, I realise they wont pay tax atm but just for rate.Thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel....Then got hit by a train! :A

If you're looking for no risk a savings deposit account is the way to go.
Take a look at https://www.moneyfacts.co.uk and search for children's accounts to find the best rate.
