Want best savings rate/policy for some cash...hints/advice please.

[grouchyoscar]

I have a modest lump sum for DS. It is for him but he is too young to use it and wants for nothing. I want the money to work as hard as possible but I also want the inital sum to be safe. It can be tied up long term as it is for his future.
So can any of you good good people recommend an accout or policy or advice site that could give me some ideas please
