Saving for child's future - Nisa or S&S Nisa

Hi,

I currently put £25 a month into an Isa for my daughter. We are soon expecting the arrival of our second child and I'd like to do the same for him/her.

The current isa is ok but I'm wondering if I'd be better transferring to a S&S isa for a potential larger return? I've not gone for the junior isa option as I don't want the money frittering away on booze and clothes when they turn 18!!

There's £300 in my daughters isa at present. And with circa 16 years to go until she needs some funds I thought i may be better going for the S&S isa?
