It supports most of the ESP32 series boards, which are very cheap and powerful. For beginners, microbit is probably the best choice.

Regarding programming environments, I highly recommend MicroBlocks(https://microblocks.fun/). I was a big MicroPython fan before, and since switching to MicroBlocks, I've never looked back.
If your child has experience with Scratch, then MicroBlocks will make him feel very familiar.

MakeCode falls short in many aspects compared to Scratch, lacking features like broadcasting and real-time block execution support. MicroBlocks (https://microblocks.fun) might be a better alternative as it offers the same ease of use as Scratch but for hardware. MicroBlocks was created by John Maloney, who was also the primary implementer of the original Scratch.
