Advice on a 1 year olds savings account

Hi, I have a 1 year old who i'm trying to build a fund for so he can get driving lessons or seomthing along those lines at the age of 18. He has £325 at the moment, just wondering if theres any reccomendations for the account I go for? His savings are currently in a online saver attached to my current account so earning no money whatsoever!
I don't mind locking it away for a period of time, just so long as i can still put money into it when needed.
Many thanks in advance & apologies if this is in the wrong place

    You may want to look at investing rather than saving as it should outperform cash by a long way over a 10+ year period.

    A S&S JISA is a tax efficient place to start, and will be released to him on his 18th birthday.
