I passed my test last July with Kenny, and he was the most patient and caring instructor I could have asked for! He knew when to challenge me and was able to calm my nerves. When I first started I was petrified of driving and never thought I'd be able to drive, but thanks to Kenny Ive been driving almost a year now. Highly recommended! Read Less

I can not thank Kenny at Baxter Driving School enough. I passed my test first time this morning thanks to Kenny's patience and amazing teaching style, He explained everything to me fully and made sure I was ready and confident before taking my test. Kenny is a fantastic instructor and managed to get me from being the most nervous driver mid November to passing my test first time today. Thank you so much Kenny I will be telling everybody to use your driving school. Read Less

My wife had some lessons with this company before her instructor moved abroad - all of this was fine. Once her instructor left, we dealt with a gentleman (sorry, cannot remember his name) and he said he'd liaise with us over the departing instructors replacement. Despite chasing, this never transpired. Against my better judgement (some time has now passed), I contacted the same company with the phone number provided on the website. This was for my wife again. The guy on the phone didn't have time for me and said he would call back and he took my name and details. Once again- NOTHING. We have now sourced a new instructor which we are very happy with. I would not recommend Baxter driving school as they clearly lack basic manners and professionalism. Read Less

Fantastic experience with Baxter Driving School, professional and understanding, I'd recommend them to anyone. I went on a few lessons with other instructors previously and the level of service was nothing like Baxters. Thank you Kenny for helping me pass my test. Read Less

I wouldn't advise lessons with this driving school , I had a really bad experience which effected my confidence. instructor (David Gordon ) was very impatient and rude.despite taking 15 lessons (mainly all in an industrial state) I learned very little. I take my lessons elsewhere now and what a difference. Despite only taking 10 lessons, I am now ready to take my test. Baxter driving school is con, save your money and avoid. I wish I had read real reviews prior now. Avoid Read Less
