Good Bank Account for 16 Year Old?

My daughter is just turning 16 and wants her own bank account.
I can't find any information on good accounts for this age group - it all seems to be aimed at the 18 year old uni student.
Any ideas? It would be nice if there was an account that gave some sort of freebie or interest.
Many thanks.

I can't believe your daughter doesn't already have an account! I had a Solo card at 13, and that was great for that age. Halifax do a debit card for 16-17 year olds that does pay interest and will not give an overdraft. It has online banking so great for budgeting.

The cardcash is the one I was thinking.
