Specialist early years provision

How to apply for your child’s transport assistance

Parents/carers of pre-school aged children attending a Specialist Early Years Placement can submit an application for transport on the Education Online Portal. You will need to register for an account, if you do not have one already, before being able to make a transport application. Select Option 3 SEN Post 16 and Early years for your application. All requests will be considered on a case by case basis.

When to reapply

Parents/carers of Early Years pupils must submit a new request form each year. If the pupil’s home address or other circumstances change during the school year then parents/carers must submit a new request form for consideration.

Making arrangements for your child

There is no automatic eligibility for Early Years transport. All applications received are considered as an exception to policy and therefore can take significantly longer than 10 working days to process. Parents/carers are notified in due course.
