Tilberthwaite quarry should fit the bill. On road from Ambleside to Coniston, takes a very sharp turn off on right, signed Tilburthwaite. Good parking and 5 mins walk. Short walls, bolts and trad routes if you prefer.

Not many easy climbs at Tilburthwaite.

tbh all the easy stuff requires a good hike to get to (Little How crag, etc)

On the opposite side of Goats Water to Dow Crag are some Easy slabs, Diff V Diff ish, if you park on the Walna Scar road, say 30 mins easy walk, otherwise Black Crag Wrynose, or Hoad Slabs Ulverstone, but then you may as well not be in the Lakes

Can only say that I have seen groups of kids in there being top roped, but as I have only climbed the trad routes I can't comment on those. Good luck.
