Great
Booked a voucher which was simple, although the prices are a little steep, when booking the actual session that was very straightforward too.
On the day everyone was helpful and friendly and everything was very simple and easy to understand for my daughter (11) thoroughly enjoyed her lesson said the instructor (Bruno) was great, helped ease her into an unfamiliar car and talked her through some things.
She was a little frustrated that she didnt go passed first gear as she already knows and can do quite a bit but they have a structure that must be followed so its understandable on their part.
She got a driver book too so she is able to keep track of her progress, shes very protective of this so I guess we are set to book more sessions to keep filling this out.

Good communication/emails. Well organised/signposted. Lots of friendly staff. My child loved the lesson and we've booked another one (20% discount if you book at the site after your lesson). Overall a really positive experience.

Best gift I could have given my daughter
My daughter was very anxious about driving and when arriving at the venue she was so nervous. However her instructor (Mike) was incredible and she really enjoyed the lesson. All children wanting to drive should do at least one session here!

Inevitably not as great as all the marketing would have you believe
In the images the cars are all nice new 'Young Driver' liveried cars. This isn't the case in real life. One instructor was using a battered 10 year old Ford Fiesta.
We ordered the In-Car Film. There is no mention of when we will receive it.
