School Run Services
Our School Run Services
Daily Morning School Runs
Reliable morning collection from your home with punctual arrival at school before registration. Our drivers arrive at agreed times, wait patiently while children get ready, ensure seat belts are fastened, and deliver children safely to school drop-off points with time to spare.
Afternoon School Collections
Prompt collection from school at the end of the day ensuring children are never left waiting. We coordinate with school dismissal times, wait in designated pickup areas, confirm child identity before allowing them in vehicles, and deliver them safely home to parents or approved guardians.
After-School Activity Transport
Collection from after-school clubs, sports activities, music lessons, or other extracurricular activities. We coordinate with activity end times, wait if activities run late, and ensure children get home safely after their enrichment activities without parents needing to interrupt work schedules.
Multiple School Pickups
Families with children attending different schools benefit from our coordinated pickup services. We can collect siblings from different locations, manage staggered start or finish times, and ensure all children reach their respective schools on time despite different schedules.

Will my child have the same driver every day?
We strive to provide consistent drivers for regular school runs as this helps children feel secure and comfortable. While occasional circumstances may require a substitute driver, we aim for consistency and always ensure any substitute drivers are equally qualified, DBS-checked, and briefed on your child’s specific requirements.
What happens if my child's school finishes early or activities run late?
Communication is key. If you know in advance about timing changes, inform us and we’ll adjust the pickup time accordingly. For unexpected changes, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll coordinate with the driver. We’re flexible and understanding that school schedules sometimes change unexpectedly.
