juggernaut is right, a nice, well run airport with state of the art Katana 2 training aircraft - no crap aircraft there! It does mean that they tend to be a bit pricier than other clubs because of their facilities.

I couldnt tell you what the alternatives are for you as I'm not sure exactly where you live.

I beleive they do offer discount packages if you pay up front. I think they give you all the equipment + exams + minimum hours for just over 5k. Budget for £150-180 for a class II medical, but add another 1k on top to be safe. Most people wouldnt recommend paying up front in case they go bust, but it seems a busy, solvent school so the choice is yours.

p.s. Those Katana aircraft are all well and good, but in all seriousness you'll probably be flying cessnas or pa28's afterwards, so i'd opt for the pa28 that have there. Again the choice is yours.
