Halifax savings account!! It has 10.00% interest for a year CLICKY
The only thing is you would have to have a regular standing order of minimum £10 - maximum £100 per month & you cannot make any withdrawls in that 1 year unless you close the account. After that year is up the account will transfer to another savings account of your choice.

We opened Jake a savings account with Abbey because me and OH are with them. I think the account we opened is called a flexible saver and has a good interest rate. I have got a book and I just take it in to Abbey with any money I want to pay in and they print it in the book. I can withdraw the money whenever I like and Jake has no control over it meaning that I can choose when to let him have the money. The CTF money can be withdrawn by your child when they reach 18 whether you like it or not.
