Congratulations Charlie on passing your driving test and thank you
Fantastic experience: This is a very good and professional company that want to see you succeed and are very enthusiastic with each lesson you have with them. I passed second time, and started my lessons not knowing anything about cars or driving but now I am very confident. I had Jodie Ingram as my instructor who I would definitely recommend.
Ah thank you so much Leah It’s been a pleasure teaching you and we’ve had lots of fun along the way safe driving and see you on the road x
Negative experience: No consideration for other drivers or pedestrians Also doesn’t know the Highway Code! Avoid at all costs and do your homework there are lots of good instructors out there
Fantastic experience: I am writing this review to express my heartfelt gratitude and to highly recommend Jodie at Sherwood Driving School. As a parent, finding a driving instructor who is not only skilled but also patient and understanding with young learners is crucial. Jodie exceeded all our expectations in teaching our daughter, Ellie. From the very first lesson, Jodie created a comfortable and safe learning environment, which greatly helped Ellie gain confidence behind the wheel. Her teaching methods are clear, effective, and tailored to the individual needs of the learner. Jodie's professionalism, combined with her friendly and encouraging approach, made each driving lesson something Ellie looked forward to. Thanks to Jodie's comprehensive and thorough instruction, Ellie not only passed her driving test but has also developed a deep understanding of safe driving practices. This peace of mind is invaluable for us as parents. I wholeheartedly recommend Jodie at Sherwood Driving School to any young person embarking on their driving journey. Her dedication to her students' success and safety is truly commendable. Thank you, Jodie, for your outstanding tuition and for playing such a crucial role in Ellie's driver development!
Thank you very much for your lovely words , and I’m very proud of Ellie achieving all her goals and now getting the freedom to follow her dreams . Thank you
Fantastic experience: My experience with Sherwood has been great! Rachel was an absolute blessing in a time where I was struggling to find an instructor and I couldn't have asked for a better one.

Never thought I'd have said that before! If you're looking for an instructor you're in the right place :) Thank you Matt and Sherwood Driving School.

Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time today!! A big thanks to my driving instructor Rachel. I honestly could not ask for a more amazing mentor! She was always super patient with me, very flexible with the lessons as well despite her busy schedule. She always made sure to make me feel comfortable during the drives and always pointed out areas for improvement!
That’s absolutely lovely to hear and congratulations on passing your driving test first time
Fantastic experience: My daughter Charley passed her test yesterday. Thank you Rachel. Rachel has been brilliant from Charley's very first lesson. She came home that first day buzzing.

Fantastic experience: Passed today with Sherwood Driving School and had a great experience - Rachel was brilliant and supported me the entire way! The lessons were super structured with a training tracker approach and helpful visual examples. She also went the extra mile to work around my new schedule so we could get to test. Whenever I felt unconfident or nervous she always knew the right thing to say. Thank you again, I'm definitely going to miss the Saturday mornings and all our chats!
Thank you for your lovely review and congratulations on passing you did amazing happy driving .
Fantastic experience: Started my lessons in November and by March I have passed on my first try. Matt was great would highly recommend
Thank you for your lovely review and well done you did amazing safe driving and we will see you on the road
Fantastic experience: I honestly cannot speak highly of my instructor, Matt! I was very nervous about learning to drive, after a shaky experience some years previous, but he put me at ease as soon as i got in the driving seat! He was very patient, explained everything thoroughly and genuinely made each lesson an amazing one to look forward to! Matt is a super funny, chilled guy and this helped me though anything i was struggling with and he never made me feel rushed. I genuinely don’t think i’d have passed first time without him having so much faith in me, and him encouraging me to have faith in myself. I cannot speak highly enough of Matt and would 100% recommend him to anyone and everyone!
Thank you so much for a lovely review and words Congratulations passing first time
Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time today thanks to Matt's patients and encouragement on lessons. At the end of each lesson he would go through everything with me and make a forward plan for next lesson. I couldn't recommend this driving school enough. Going to miss my lessons but thank you Matt for everything.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and we are so pleased you enjoyed your lessons with Matt Well done
Fantastic experience: I went with sherwood after my friend had Rachel as her instructor and was telling me about her, she sounded like exactly the type of instructor that I needed! And she was I passed first time which I’m delighted with because I was so nervous. Rachel was amazing & always encouraging me. She’s calm and gives you the confidence you need. I always said I couldn’t have an instructor who puts you down because it would make me ten times worse! But Rachel was the complete opposite which is what I needed! She believed in me and it paid off ! Thanks Rachel !
Thank you for your lovely review It makes all the difference having a great instructor and experience on the road happy driving
Fantastic experience: Thank you Rachel for the lessons, passed my test today first time. I recommend Sherwood Driving school for the best instructors.
Well done Ronnie superb result passing first time thank you for choosing Sherwood driving school . Enjoy your driving and don’t forget to give us all a wave
Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test many moons ago with Steve. Now looking for driving lessons for my son.
Fantastic experience: I had Rachel and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. After being with a previous driving school I had given up hope but Rach was so patient and caring and I passed today and couldn’t be happier. The lesson plans are so structured and helped me to progress rapidly. Thank you so much Rach and Sherwood.
Thank you Holly for a lovely review So pleased you was happy with Sherwood driving school and your instructor Racheal . Safe driving
Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test on first attempt today, thanks to my instructor Sheila. Really impressed with her way of doing driving lessons. I felt really relaxed during my driving lessons and never feel nervous due to my instructors support. Honestly, My Instructor, Sheila is fabulous and she supported me through out. She always follow a check list and marked my level of learning at the end of each lesson and also asked me which area I struggle, so I got the opportunity to practice more on weaker areas, which definitely helped me to pass my driving test on the first attempt. I already recommended my instructor Sheila to couple of my friends and colleagues, who are awaiting to start driving lessons. I Would definitely recommend learning with Sherwood driving school & specifically driving instructor Sheila.
That’s absolutely great to hear and thank you for your lovely review. Well done again you did amazing
Fantastic experience: Would really recommend, especially for nervous drivers. Had an amazing experience with Jodie who guided me to a perfect pass and seriously increased my confidence in such a short amount of time! Cannot thank Sherwood Driving school and Jodie enough!
Thank you so much for your lovely review
Fantastic experience: Absolutely over the moon with my experience with sherwood driving school, Rachel has been the best driving instructor I could’ve ever asked for, patient, kind and made me feel so comfortable and actually want to learn!

Fantastic experience: i can’t recommend sherwood driving school enough! so thankful for having Jonathan as my instructor, he was so patient and understanding of my work schedule. Going to miss our lessons but i’m so grateful he helped me pass
Hi Ellie , thank you for your lovely review and I’m so pleased you enjoyed your lessons happy driving
Fantastic experience: I had Sheila as my instructor and believe me she is the best. Sheila was so patient with me whenever I was nervous. She always made me confident and the review after each session was really helpful. I would highly recommend Sherwood to everyone. I really had a great experience.
Thank you for your lovely review and well done on passing your driving test
Negative experience: Just sat behind one of the instructors and they don't tell the students to pull over when they are causing a tail back.
Fantastic experience: I have been learning with Sheila for quite a while as we endured a few pauses over covid, my pregnancy and other bumps in the road. :) Sheila always encouraged me to keep going. Every time I got back into the car I instantly felt at ease. Sheila is patient, kind and friendly. I’ll really miss my lessons each week. I’m so happy I passed with only 2 minors - I would highly recommend sherwood driving school to anyone!!
Thank you Sam for your lovely review You did amazing well done Happy driving From Team Sherwood

Thank you Sarah for your great review congratulations passing your driving test
Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend sherwood. Passed first time. Thank you Jonathan for being so patient with a very nervous driver
Thanks Roisin for your lovely review and superb result well done
Negative experience: I was anxious with driving due to past traumas and really wanted to learn at my own pace. But Jonathan, my previous instructor in Mansfield continually put down any confidence I tried building which made me even more anxious in every lesson. He was impatient, seemed to enjoy talking down on me, called me "silly" on several occasions, felt the constant self-absorbed need to state that his advice was "brilliant" and was too egotistical to believe he did anything wrong when I tried talking calmly about these to him and about my anxiety. He simply shrugged and said he didn't think he did anything wrong, that he wasn't the right instructor for me and that he didn't care if I wanted to continue with him or not. Also I knew I wasn't ready for my test and kept telling him that I would push the test forwards if any cancellations came up. But if I made any mistake while driving, instead of giving me feedback straight away that I could learn from, he would rather first talk down on me, state I keep making silly mistakes, make insinuations about not having common sense, and then mention repeatedly that I'm not ready for the test! Before even explaining what I did wrong! This demotivated me and honestly did not help with improving my confidence in driving. Also his teaching methods were questionable. Like one instance of asking me to park in a tight left sided parking space, which is something that isn't reasonable to ask a learner driver. No one would expect that or ask that even during a practical test. Most experienced drivers even avoid parking in tight spaces. But when I tried avoiding it, he abruptly took the wheel and used that as another opportunity to call me silly and make derogatory remarks. I'm sure this company has good instructors but avoid Jonathan in Mansfield unless you enjoy being put down by a self-absorbed bully. Learning to drive is already a highly tense situation. You don't need someone that has a 'one size fits all' teaching approach especially if you struggle with anxiety around driving. Waste of money in my opinion. I hate giving bad reviews but I honestly have to write this because that was an awful experience. Out of every week, despite my mentally draining and busy job, I never looked forward to the one day a week I had my lessons with him. I honestly hope he would do better. Try to learn to teach anxious drivers, instead of shrugging it off and saying you're not the right instructor for them. Have a better attitude. Not everyone learns a skill at the same pace or with the same methods! Also it is VERY unprofessional to call someone "silly" in any type of work environment, and this needs to be highlighted and reported. 0 stars for him. UPDATE to response: I still believe in my 0 star rating. I passed my practical with 1 minor a while ago, which I won't have achieved if I stayed with Jonathan. I still believe our lessons were a waste of money and a continuous drain on my self-confidence in driving. All I needed was a teacher who could build confidence and not constantly call someone "silly" or "lacking in common sense" at every opportunity. Of course, he would never admit to that, but I just want him to learn to be patient with everyone he teaches. I was never rude to him during our lessons, but he constantly felt the need to talk down on me.
This was uncomfortable to read and Jonathan disagrees with what you have written. Perhaps it can be agreed that both yourself and Jonathan found your lessons challenging, at times difficult and occasionally frustrating. Sometimes an instructor isn’t the right fit for a particular student and it’s better to discuss this so the student has the chance to find an instructor better suited to their needs. All our lessons are confidential and we never discuss publicly details of what happens on our driving lessons. Therefore we cannot respond specifically to the details/allegations in this review. We do wish you all the best though and hope you achieve your goal of getting a full driving licence.
Fantastic experience: I had Jodie as my instructor and couldn’t have had anyone better to teach me. She was very patient and honest, and always helpful, and I thoroughly enjoyed learning.
Thanks for the review Megan And great to hear you was happy and had a great experience safe driving
Fantastic experience: I would recommend this Driving School to anyone. Being a older learner I needed extra encouragement to get me through. Matt guided me into being a confident driver and that I can do it. Matt supported me in every way, I couldn't have wished for a better instructor.
Thank you ☺️
Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test with Trevor as my instructor. Would really recommend him as he's extremely patient. He's been a great guide and gives plenty of feedback to ensure I was ready for the tests.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I had Rachel as my instructor and couldn’t recommend her enough!! My Saturday mornings won’t be the same anymore knowing we won’t have our chats during our lessons! She helped fit me in and worked around my schedule so I could complete my lessons. Rachel sent me helpful videos which supported the lessons. The feedback given after each lesson was even more useful and the overall experience with Sherwood driving made my learning experience easier and convenient. 100/10!!
Hi Olivia That’s such a lovely review And we are so pleased you enjoyed your lessons with Rachael
Fantastic experience: Yesterday, I passed the practical test for the first go and I am really happy. My instructor, Sheila, was great and I really enjoyed all lessons with her. As a foreigner, I had a bit of language problem, but she taught me nicely and I am very happy now.
Thanks for your lovely review Chie
Fantastic experience: Passed my test a couple of days ago with no minors. I had lessons for a few months with Trevor who was always punctual and patient. He gave me everything I needed to pass and lots of tips and tricks to be as efficient and safe as possible.
Hi Leo Lovely review thank you Trev is Superb instructor

Fantastic experience: Only gonna and past 1st time today thanks to my instructor matt he helped me with so much couldn't be anymore happier definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Very good. I had Rachel as my instructor and passed 1st time with her. Very good instructor, made you very relaxed and was always there when you needed help. You could have a laugh with her as well. Would recommend to anyone.
Fantastic experience: The best school. The best instructor Matt, he helped me so much, mentally by encouraging me to believe in me, to be confident when I am driving. Thank you for your patience and support. I never believe i can do it and I would never do it without you. Thank you Matt and this school. ❤️❤️❤️ All the best Matt
Fantastic experience: Been doing my lessons with sherwood driving school and my instructor was shelia, she is amazing so patient and makes u feel so relaxed. Passed first time gonna miss my lessons and our little chats thank you xx
Fantastic experience: Had Sheila passed my test first time she was the best instructor, was patient every single time and knew exactly how best to support and teach based on how I learnt couldn't be more greatful a lovely instructor and would highly recommend thank you
Fantastic experience: After almost 2 years, having to stop and start lessons whenever new lockdown rules came in and needing to reschedule the test once or twice as a result I was finally able to take it and PASSED FIRST TIME! Thank you Jodie for being such a great teacher and all around lovely person, always willing to chat and be hard on me when I needed it. I’ll miss our lessons but I’m grateful for all of your help which paid off in the end ☺️ I highly recommend Sherwood and Jodie to anyone looking to pick up driving, I honestly couldn't have imagined learning with anyone else!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant Service couldn't be happier. My driving instructor Steve was great and fealt more like a friend than an instructor, I truly feel I couldn't have passed without him. I'm going back to do pass plus and honestly can't wait, he made driving fun
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended!! I went in feeling quite sceptical (having been told by a previous instructor I probably shouldn't drive!), Sheila was amazing! Not only have I now passed my test but I'm so excited to be driving. Literally a life changing experience for me and my family. Sheila was a fantastic instructor, the lessons covered all areas in a well organised manner, and it was clear what progress was made after every session. I felt really involved in the structure of the lessons, especially towards the end when it was all about fine tuning - Sheila actively encouraged me to feed back what I felt I needed to practice. And on a personal level, Sheila is a genuinely lovely human being! Passing my test was bitter sweet, I thoroughly enjoyed our lessons each week. Thank you so much for everything!
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Dave I passed my driving test on my first try with only 1 fault. I had a great time learning to drive thanks to this school and my instructor, I would highly recommend it.
Fantastic experience: From the moment I contacted, to the final day with my instructor. They are really profession and don’t mess around. My instructor, Steve, was firm but fair, if I messed up, he would tell me - no sugar coating. If you’re looking for a cheap, profession and fair driving school, this is the place!
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test today with only two minors! Thanks to Mel who was an amazing instructor and so patient with myself through all of the lessons. Couldn't ask for a better driving school to learn how to drive.
Fantastic experience: Lovely at atmosphere .The staff are nice and polite and surely highly recommend anyone to use their facilities.And Mel is an absolute instructor
Fantastic experience: I would just like to thank Steve and Sherwood for helping me through my driving today I passed woohoo who would highly recommend Steve as a driving instructor he's calm happy and very patient would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Just passed today, first time thanks to Dave. Very good teaching, form my experience instructors are understanding and patient couldn’t be happier.
Fantastic experience: What an experience!!! Very professional people, Mel is an excellent instructor. The car was well kept. Everything was superb from first lesson to the exam
Fantastic experience: Great driving school. Instructors really easy to get on with and got me to pass first time
Fantastic experience: Would recommend to anyone who wants to learn to drive! Rachel was an absolutely amazing instructor, her methods of teaching were extremely effective and she filled me with confidence and it resulted in a first time pass! At the start I was so nervous but she made me feel comfortable behind the wheel and was just brilliant to be with!!
Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test a couple of days ago with only 2 faults. Would highly recommend Steve. He was kind, friendly and patient with me. I was really nervous when I started driving and during my tests but he was always patient and great at instructing me on what to do, really calmed me down. Thank you Steve!
Fantastic experience: I've been learning with Matt for 10 months after previously learning with a few other companies for 2 years but not getting anywhere. Passed my test 3rd time lucky today, over the moon, Matt is good in respect that he pulls you on everything right and wrong you do which to me is the only way you are going to learn. Thank you Matt and Sherwood
Fantastic experience: Just passed my test first time after using these guys. Mel was my instructor and I couldn't recommend him enough, Made me feel confident on the road from the first lesson! Great sense of humour and an excellent instructor!
Fantastic experience: *Highly Recommend* -Excellent service -Brilliant teaching -Reassuring even when you can doubt yourself -Constructive criticism, never making you feel you’ve done bad -Makes you miles better than the average driver out there These are just a few of the brilliant things I can say personally. Just look at the average review rating and it explains its self really. I personally had Racheal and she was lovely and helped me pass as a confident driver. No brainier really....
Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test first time thanks to the best instructor matt... he is brilliant at what he does .. couldnt of ask for better... Highly recommend sherwood thanks again
Fantastic experience: 10/10 would learn again, highly recommend for anyone and everyone
Fantastic experience: After changing driving schools to Sherwood I passed my test the other day. Instructor was fantastic learnt so much will definitely recommend to friends
Fantastic experience: I’ve been taking lessons on and off over a period of 25 years, and for various reasons I’ve never got anywhere near test level. I developed a fear of driving and was ready to throw in the towel until my partner suggested trying an automatic as in the past I’ve struggled with gear changes and clutch control. Sherwood was recommended to me, and I started having lessons with Matt who straightaway I could tell was miles ahead of any of my other instructors. I can’t recommend him highly enough! We had many ups and downs due mainly to my confidence issues, but Matt was always patient and understanding, whilst still being firm and critical when needed. And I knew that if he had enough faith in me to put me in for my test that I was ready. As a result I sailed through first time !!! I will recommend Sherwood to anyone wanting to drive as my experience has been first class. Thanks for sticking with me Matt and getting me through my test!
Fantastic experience: Passed my practical today, first time with only 2 minors!! Jodie is an amazing instructor; patient, caring and friendly but still always professional. She pushed and tested me while never overwhelming me, structuring each lesson to my personal needs!! I can't thank her and recommend Sherwood enough!!
Fantastic experience: I passed first time thanks to an incredible instructor and a brilliant driving school. Matt was everything you want in an instructor. Patient, diligent, knowledgeable and organised with a knack for getting across how to drive competently and safely. I Also need to thank Jonathan. I started with him first but when i needed to change days he transferred me over to Matt without any delays or issues. That's the sign of a great Driving School !
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Dave enough, so helpful and makes you feel sooo comfortable and always has a laugh, passed first time! Thank you
Fantastic experience: Wow this is an amazing place to take your lessons, iv been with Mel he's so friendly and a good teacher definitely recommended him 100% if your wanting to do automatic I passed first time with him
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic driving school. Matt was brilliant with me and I passed first time with only one minor. Can't thank Sherwood and Matt enough for this!!!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing, would recommend this driving school to anyone! Thankyou so much Trev Do not learn to drive with anyone else!!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant driving school would definitely recommend to everyone who wants to pass and learn how to drive
Fantastic experience: I had Mel as my instructor, I could not have hoped for anyone better to guide me through, his calming voice and his patience! Brilliant! I was thinking about what he said the whole test, passed with only 3 minors!! Thank you Mel and thank you Sherwood :)
Fantastic experience: Definitely would recommend Sherwood Driving school. As a nervous 50 something first time driver I chose to take automatic lessons with Matt. He was a fantastic teacher, patient, friendly, highly skilled and very thorough in the detail he went into for each lesson. I passed today at the first attempt, with zero faults, and I'd like to thank Matt for his professional and excellent teachings. Thanks Matt !!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Sherwood Driving School to anyone! Brilliant Instructors! Brilliant Service! I couldn't thank Mel enough, he's just superb! He Mentored to a excellent standard every single lesson! Thankyou Mel & Thankyou Sherwood!
Fantastic experience: I find the instructors to be very helpful and they're take the time to help you with the full axpet of learning to drive
Fantastic experience: I'm a relatively new driver, and a family member recommended that I have lessons with Trev. Lessons are always in that sweet spot of being challenging enough to keep them interesting, whilst not so difficult that I feel like I can't cope with what's going on. Would highly recommend!
