Very disappointed with the cheshire…
Very disappointed with the cheshire showground site. Dirty, messy track, very rushed and session was not informative at all. No instruction given. Would not recommend.
Had a much better experience previously at merry hill and would only go there in the future.

I this is a great idea and experience
I this is a great idea and experience, my child loves the driving sessions
An excellent service
Excellent!
My son had an excellent experience. He has ADHD and was very anxious before the drive but as soon as he met his instructor, he settled and really enjoyed it. I’m sure he will want to go again soon.
Our daughter attended for the first…
Our daughter attended for the first time at Stoneleigh and we were really impressed, she thoroughly enjoyed it and her instructor gave very good feedback
Excellent for children who are car mad…
Excellent for children who are car mad and just want to get behind the wheel!
The booking process is easy and clear, the experience is good and age-appropriate.
My son would do it again and again if he could.
Great experience for our eager 16 year old, if you can do this for your child then do it! 5⭐️
Great experience for our 16 year old girl who is eager to be learning to drive. Although prior to getting in the car she was a little nervous about what to expect but I believe she felt comfortable and happy once she had settled in the car. She is eager to do more and give her skills and an experience before she is able to get on the public roads.
Fantastic idea
Fantastic idea. Great unique present to a child/ teenager. Staff are friendly and professional. Only draw back is family and friends have no waiting facilities at Haydock Park no hot drinks for a warm just a car park
Superbly well organised and wonderfully…
Superbly well organised and wonderfully friendly people. Great way for young people to get some exposure to driving in a safe environment.
Fantastic experience at young drivers
This was our son's first lesson and wow what an experience it was! He loved every single moment of it. The staff at reception where lovely, polite and helpful and Kate his instructor was fab. She gave him guidance and instructions which helped him so much. She even explained some highway code to him and asked him questions about different things.We wasn't expecting it be like a proper lesson. He even done some manoeuvres. We purchased the video of the experience which again was brilliant as we could see exactly what Kate was asking of him and how he responded and how he actually got in with the lesson and you could see his confidence grow from the start of the lesson to the end. He was actually listening to the car noticing changes and making decisions without being promoted. We will 100% be booking again as this will build his confidence as going forward over the years when he's old enough to do his proper lesson. And we would definitely recommend this experience it was brilliant.
Highly recommend
Highly recommend! My daughter (10) had her first lesson today & absolutely loved it. She learnt so much in her 1 hour lesson & thoroughly enjoyed it. Such an amazing experience for children to learn from a young age. Staff were so friendly and patient. Very well organised.
We had a fantastic lesson with YoungDriver!
We had a fantastic lesson with YoungDriver! Everything was so well organised and full of fun. The instructor was brilliant, polite, supportive, and made learning really enjoyable. Our daughter felt confident and engaged the whole time. Highly recommended!
Promising idea undermined by poor availability and customer service
It’s a great idea, but the execution and customer service are extremely poor. We bought a package of lessons as a gift, but it has proved almost unusable because the company appears unable to cope with demand. Despite multiple local centres, there is no availability for at least six months. Young Driver have also refused to offer a refund on the voucher, showing no flexibility or goodwill. The approach feels abrupt and dismissive, with little regard for the customer experience. I would avoid and spend your money elsewhere.
