We are worried about the journey time at the moment and do not want to send him on public transport until he is older.

If we decide on Tiffins, we will put it first and then langley.

Taxi to and from Kingston is about £60 a day, so if there were 3/4 kids it makes it cost effective.

Journey would be at least 1 hour each way.

In which case re-reads your post and use that to help you to decide. Your DC would be unable to participate in any school activities in order to get the taxi, assuming you got 3 kids that's £100 per week. Try and work out what you think makes it better (if anything) and whether that is worth £4000 per year to you and 10 hours a week to your DC. Good luck.
