After setting up an Apple Watch for my granddaughter the App Store is missing

We gave my granddaughter an apple watch, and paired it with my iPhone to manage it. She doesn't have the App Store on her watch, but it shows on my iPhone when I pull up her watch. Any ideas on how to add it?

Child Apple Watch unable to download apps My child has an Apple Watch SE that I set up as a child watch using my iPhone. She is unable to download apps in the App Store on the watch - she can go into the App Store and find apps, but when she clicks "Get", the wheel spins for awhile and then just goes back to "Get". Things I've tried: disabling all Content and Privacy Restrictions in the Screen Time settings made sure that wifi/cellular was on removing the watch and setting it up again

Adding apps to a Watch setup via Family My daughter has been trying to add an app on her watch which I have setup under Family Watches. When she clicks to add it, I get a notification on my phone to approve it which I do. She then gets a message on her watch that says “cannot complete purchase” It says to go to the phone which her watch was setup on and click on her watch and go into the App Store. However, “App Store” does not show up for her watch at all. She does however have access to the app from her watch itself.

It sounds as though there may be some restrictions enabled. See if anything here helps:

She should have an iPhone paired with her Apple Watch ⌚️ , the Apple Watch ⌚️ won’t works as it should be when you are away from your daughter
