Have the LA offered you anywhere nearer, even if not of your choice ? If they can't they maybe liable for transport provision. Not sure how your job situation is relevant though .

If the school is more than 2 miles away by the shortest safe walking route and the LA have not offered a place at a school closer to home you are entitled to free transport. The qualifying distance goes up to 3 miles when your daughter is 8. If the shortest walking route is 4.7 miles you definitely qualify and should apply. Note that the free transport is for your child only, not for you.
