How to save

I am due to get £60k for my flat that I have just sold. We will be using the money to buy a new house within the next year.
Have been reading the moneytips about how to save this. My husband and I were going to invest £3000 each in the mini cash ISAs as neither of us have one. Then we thought about saving money in a children's account regularly from a savings account where the rest of the money is kept. But do you have to keep saving in these accounts for a year or can you take all the money out before the year is up? It is so confusing.
Kind Regards
