Young Driver Leeds Church Fenton

A bit let down. Having read good reviews in the Telegraph this was really not worth the drive from Leeds. Most of the car park was full of normal cars so only a small area was cordoned off. The car would jam up whenever you turned to full lock, so in the constrained space that was every minute. Then someone would have to run over to unstick it. Indicators didn't work. Car was so, so slow my little one was just completely bored. A bit of a waste of the morning.

Great facility at Church Fenton airfield. The driving course is laid out on one of the runways (but not in use by aircraft). There's loads of space for the kids to get up into top gear, do slaloms, reverse parking, roundabouts etc. Instructors seem to know their stuff and my daughter who started lessons at age 14 loves it! Only downside of that there's not really anywhere to sit while you wait, but I just take a camping chair with me. Fun to watch the planes while you're there as well

Great experience for my young driver! Good facilities and space.

They do not provide any shelter so my 13 year old son and I were stood waiting for 30 minutes in the poring rain. When the instructor picked him up I was so wet I had to return to my car. I did want to watch his first driving experience but the rain was coming down hard. On the way back to the car I complained in the main office and the lady there stated that everyone complains about the fact they offer no shelter atall for students or parents. This just goes to show all they care about it money money money and me and my son will not be going back.
