Our service is completely free to pre-schools and nurseries and offers the following benefits:
The Nursery Milk Scheme entitles registered childcare settings to claim one free drink of milk (meaning a 189ml portion of heat-treated cow’s milk) each day for children under the age of 5 who attend for two or more hours a day. We can provide whole or semi-skimmed pasteurised cows' milk.
Eligible childcare establishments include:
Management and staff of certain establishments (e.g. children's homes, voluntary or community homes, NHS hospitals) that are exempt from registration should contact the Nursery Milk Reimbursement Unit (NMRU) to confirm their eligibility before registering.
You can still claim for children who are absent without prior notice (e.g. off sick for less than a week).
Each setting/establishment must register with the Nursery Milk Reimbursement Unit (NMRU). We, as agents for the scheme are not eligible to register on your behalf. You can register online by going to the Nursery Milk Reimbursement Unit website www.nurserymilk.co.uk and clicking on the ‘Register for Nursery Milk’ Link and following the instructions.
