Northern Rock do an easy access kids account paying 3%. They also have fixed rate term deposits.
If you want to add regularly to their stash, Halifax Kids Regular Saver pays 6% with conditions. You can also put kids' money in to their Guaranteed Reserve accounts. Alternatively, 11 and over can use Halifax online service so a Web Saver Reward may be an option for them to manage their own savings online, perhaps alongside and Expresscash or Guaranteed Saver Reward account to give them ATM access.
Bath Building Society were paying 5% on the first £500 last time I looked too.0 -
not sure if we have a NR branch in sheffield. looked at the halifax but doesn't look like you can put too much money in and manage his own money not an option as i want it for an 18+ nestegg and it would burn a hole in his pocket if he knew how much he'd got and could manage it himself.0

Guaranteed Reserve restricts you to a mere £9m per account. You can open the account as trustee for your child, giving you control. Top rate 4.00%.looked at the halifax but doesn't look like you can put too much money inMaximum balance: £9 million per account0
