Welcome - I too only just recently picked up a saw, but am loving it.
Again I live in the UK also, (albeit in Wales) but not that far away...
My daughter is showing an interest and has had her first attempt on the saw, she's 10 - what I would make sure is that they are not afraid of the chatter. Don't let it put them off, and make sure they have that all important safety brief
Being able to count to ten at the end of the shift is most important
