Childrens savings account with internet access?

I want to open savings accounts for our three children. What I don't really want to have to do is go to a branch and queue to manage the accounts. So I would like to be able to deposit by post or electronic transfer and internet access to view balances so that our children can see how much they have saved.

Unfortunately the only accounts I have found with internet access seem to be for over elevens only. As our twins are just coming up to two and our third is only six months this isn't very helpful. Does anyone know of an account which allows access via the internet?

TIA
Joe

    Have you just looked at accounts specifically marketed for children? Maybe an "ordinary" savings account run in your and their names would work? I had an account like that for one of mine but not an internet one.
