I'm setting up a kids account on my old Windows laptop for my almost 9-year-old. I've enabled several safety features, including Safe Search in the browser, but I'm still not completely satisfied with the search image results. I want to ensure that the search results are as safe as possible while still allowing her to find images for her favorite activity of making slideshows and presentations. Are there additional steps I can take to enhance the safety of her online searches?

You could definitely look into Windows' built-in parental controls. They can help you tighten up what your kid can access online! You can find these settings through the Start menu under the family options.
Just keep an eye on her activity. Even with protections in place, there are often ways around them, so reviewing what she's doing is key for her safety.
Honestly, keeping the laptop in a shared space can help, too. That way, your kid isn't surfing the web in secret. Also, investing in a Ubiquiti firewall or something similar can enable network-level content filtering.
Have you considered using parental control software? It provides a lot of customizable options on what you can block or allow beyond the browser's built-in features.
