Should not be a problem, but what I did last year was to go to FOREX and exchange a very small amount of money, just enough to pay for bus/Metro.

Suspect that is not an option with 6 year old, but as pragueairport.co.uk (see bottom of this post) states, for a small hit you can easily exchange just enough money.

I just looked it up. Can't speak from personal experience, but I would hope it is reliable.

Interesting web site, though wonder why Prague Airport would have a UK domain

TIP: If you want to exchange money at the airport change as little as possible because the Travelex airport exchange fee is quite high. Also it is not advisable to exchange money before you go to Prague due to the low trading in currency. For this reason, the buy and sell margin in currency exchange is quite high. The best option is to withdraw cash using your debit card upon arrival. We have never had a problem with any UK-issued cards.
Bolding mine.
