Jon must be a magician! After many tears trying to teach our daughter ourselves we booked this course and I can’t believe that in 4 hours she is now confidentially riding a bike and she has asked every day since to go out on her bike. Jon breaks everything down step by step so it’s really comfortable for the children and not overwhelming, he makes it fun for them with some good games and has a good sense of humour. I cannot recommend this course enough. Thank you.

To my amazement, in just 4 x 1 hour lessons, my 4 year old is riding his bike confidently stabiliser free! Jon has been a fantastic teacher. Definitely will be looking into the improvers course and recommending little riders to everyone.

Our daughter has just finished a course to learn to ride her bike with Jon. Amazing course- well structured and paced. Jon has the patience of an angel and a good sense of humour. Our daughter has gone from not wanting to get on her bike to riding confidently- can’t believe in only 4 hours! Would recommend to anyone whose children are nervous or struggling to learn.

Absolute magic! ✨ We would highly recommend the learn to ride course with Jon. Starting as a very nervous 6yo, my daughter transformed before our eyes into a confident rider … in 4 sessions! It was incredible to watch the process, I’ve been raving about it all week.

Our 5 year old son has learnt about his bike and how to ride it without stabilisers in 4 hours! Jon has an excellent teaching style and set up for this course and it is well worth the money. Do not hesitate to book your children in 😊 we will be doing the follow up course for definite!

Our son has just finished a course to learn to ride his bike with Jon. It was excellent from start to finish, Jon had a wonderful manner with the children and was so calm and patient. The course built up bit by bit and it was amazing to see how confident my son because after just a short amount of time. Seeing him ride his bike independently for the first time was fantastic, Jon has taught him more in the last 4 sessions than we have for years! I would certainly recommend to anyone considering it.

I feel like we witnessed real life magic this week ✨ After seriously struggling to teach my daughter myself I honestly couldn't believe that after just 3 hours that she was riding a bike! Jon is absolutely incredible with the children, so calm, engaging and encouraging. As soon as our last session ended we hit the park, which was just pure joy 🥹 Last night we couldn't get her off her bike! Will definitely be booking onto the Improvers course. Thank you SO much! 🤩

Our 8 year old daughter really enjoyed the Learn To Ride course, she was excited to go to each session and it was great to see her progressing each day. There was no stress or fear, just lots of fun while learning step by step. It was really impressive to see every child pedal away like complete naturals on day four. Our daughter rode around with a big smile, she says it felt fantastic! Anyone considering whether to book, go for it! Thank you Jon!

John was absolutely fantastic in teaching my son how to ride his bike, before we started the sessions my son wasn’t confident at all to try without stabilisers, now after the sessions he is a completely different child and can ride his bike independently! Absolutely amazing the transformation in 4 weeks

so happy to see Faith smiling and proudly riding her bike. Faith was a little older than the children on the course however Jon had a very person centered approach and met each childs individual needs, we hardly even noticed the age gap! Faith was very nervous about riding with pedals however by the end of day 4 was confident and riding independently with a big smile on her face. Highly recommended 🙂

Jon has the patience of a saint! With a child who has ASD and struggles with practical learning, it has been revelational to watch him learn to cycle with Little Riders. The course is perfectly paced to suit all needs and stages, with safety and effective instructions at the core. 100% recommend to anyone considering booking. Thank you Jon!

Fantastic course - Jon is an amazing instructor! So calm, patient, funny and brilliant with the children. I was so impressed that after only 3 hours both my children were able to ride their bikes on the fourth session! Highly recommended ☺️
