Ours is delivered by Dairycrest and we have a fridge to keep it in.

I registered with a company called cool milk and it is delivered free directly to the setting twice a week - we keep it in the fridge and the children love it. We offer it at snack time and also to drink while having a story at the end of the session.

Hi we get ours delivered 3 times a week ( enough for the whole week split into 3 deliveries so we have enough fridge space for fruit and other things too) . dairy Crest deliver it - try contacting their head office in your area - its a third of a pint size you need to ask about - good luck

Kirby and West delivery ours daily to the setting, which is in a church hall.

 

We keep it in the fridge.

 

If you don't have a fridge you could use a cool box.

Because we are in the grounds of a primary school we are able to get free milk for our children. Does everyone get the free stuff? We also keep ours in a fridge! :o

We had trouble finding out how to get these cartons when our previous milkman gave up his round. In the end I had a chat with the local primary school head who I knew got it for school and he directed me to the person at the council who dealt with the orders for the schools. From there I was able to get the details of a local milkman who would bring us milk in the cartons. However we have now gone onto pints of milk poured into jugs as we found more and more children were spilling most of their milk by squeezing the cartons until it fountained out! A lot was also wasted so this way we can give extra to the children who finish up and ask for more and it saves us throwing away lots and lots.

It certainly would! Yet another example of the uneven playing field we work in!
