Well I don't know about the Junior one Chris has mentioned, but my ISA paid me the grand amount of 0.5% interest last year. Unless you keep switching them every year that's the rate you'll get.
For a small child, why not buy her some Premium Bonds? Can't lose any money and she might win the odd amount.

I think I might ask at the bank when I pop in one day this week, or next.
I'd already thought about the nightmare of having to move the account each year just to ensure that we're getting the best rate.
I would have thought that seeing how the banks know that the money would have to be kept in 'til my niece reaches 18 (another 17 years!!), that they would try and tempt you to stay with them by offering some kind of decent tracker. The account will almost certainly be added to before it matures, so surely it's in the bank's interest to try and offer some kinda of incentive ...... but I've never had much faith in banks ...... we'll see ......
