Junior investment ISAs - where do I start?

Hi,
I'm trying to get my daughters savings (about £1400 so far) into an account. I've been looking at some investment junior ISAs with some decent Quidco cashback but obviously it's big money over the years so don't want to be too tempted by that.
I understand the risks and how these kind of things perform as my pension is under a similar arrangement but overall but I'm not sure about anything else - are they worth it, can I transfer her money to another if I want to later...
Can anyone advise or recommend? Or point me in the right direction?

Thanks - I'm struggling a bit to understand the differences in terms of costs and features. I sort of know what I want but they all have different fees and facilities which are hard to decipher across the different companies.
Is there any straightforward comparision as none of those really do that...0 -
