suspect that the Yamaha would be best quality overall
That would be my hunch as well. Classical guitars do have massive flat wide necks (by electric/acoustic guitars standards that is) - I’d say if the goal is to learn how to play classical guitar then a wider neck is probably the way, if it’s a case of starting to play guitar in general, chords etc on a classical guitar then a thinner neck might be helpful and should they move on up to an acoustic or electric instrument later it might feel a wee bit more familiar. Hope that makes sense?

Thanks. I’ve had a wee look and there seems to be a glut of budget models around £50-80, then the Yamaha and Fender just north of £100. I like that that Fender has a narrow nut width (which should make it easier for an 8-year-old to play), but suspect that the Yamaha would be best quality overall.
