General concensus now is that stabilisers are unhelpful - if she has not yet had a balance bike, that would be my first recommendation - well known makes are Frog, Islabikes, and more recently Hoy and Wiggins.
Stabilisers gives them no concept of balance, as they have no need to.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

Yes they do, sold exclusively through Evans, and Wiggins sold exclusively through Halfords IIRC - Frog are deffo worth a look as are Islabikes though, someone else may come on with some other suggestions hopefully.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

I have a Frog and an Islabike at that age and the Islabikes are expensive, but are imho much better than the Frogs - not least because the Frog I have does not have a chain guard. i think the smallest Islabike will go smaller than the smallest Frog as well...http://www.georgesfoundation.org
