Children's Microscopes - what's best?

Can anyone recommend a decent binocular microscope suitable for up to age around 11 and magnification up to around 400 ?
Plus I would prefer not to go over £100 if possible.
I am bamboozled by the choice - so any advice gratefully received.

Not quite what you are looking for but we have an USB microscope which is great and stops the trouble of being able to look into a microscope.
