westMidlands Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Dear all, We ordered milk from local farm shop at our nursery. We are looking to change the process to order it from the supermarket now to reduce costs. I was wondering if I can claim money back for milk from the council/government and if so, is the process trivial? Thank you in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 We get our 'free' milk entitlement via Cool Milk - not sure if this helps? I don't know if you can claim back for milk you pay for as I've always had it direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 As I am no longer in a setting not done it myself for a while but we always claimed ourselves.. preferred the choice of where to buy - we used a local milkman who delivered to our door..

sunnyday Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Cool Milk for us too (and it is delivered by the local milkman)....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreveryoung Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 We used to claim in back ourselves but then started with cool milk about 4 years ago and it's been so much easier since. You input your calendar, numbers (it per day not session though) and that's it....... You confirm delivery weekly or if your me when you remember. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This something you could always have done, regardless of where you buy it through the Nursery Milk Scheme.whereby they reimburse for liquid milk/infant formula supplied to children in day care under the age of 5 years. Their address is NMRU, Po BOx 504, Leicester LE94 0AE . Nursery Milk helpline 0844 991 4444 www.nurserymilk.co.uk e mail nurserymilk@MRM.co.uk The form filling can be a bit of a pfaff, but it does allow a certain flexibility of where the milk is bought from, or delivered by you have 2 years to make your claims or you can claim each term, and on line I think you can claim monthly now too.

diesel10 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I buy our milk from a local shop for £1.30 for 4 pints and reclaim as above. I stopped using cool milk because of the amount per pint they charge the government (75p I think it was). It's easy to claim the money online and they pay by BACS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredbear Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Yes we claim by NMRU too and have done for many many years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 We use cool milk - however if were up to me I would claim myself for same reasons diesle10 said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have ours delivered from the local dairy by the milkman by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 We did it ourselves for a similar reason, plus we only claimed for the amount we used. which was not always the full amount for every child each day, not all drank milk so we never used the full entitlement and saw no reason to ,did not want milk left at the end of a week.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Cool milk might charge 75p a pint, but my milkman charges me 81p a pint!!! (At home) Trouble is he's local , in a village, and it's a service I feel needs supporting. What would happen to the older residents who can't just nip to the supermarket now our village shop has closed? But at work it's cool milk because it's easy, except when the milk lorry breaks down on the first day back like today! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFCCCC Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) We claim it from NMRU - it a very quick and simple process once the account is set up, the monthly claim takes five minutes and its paid by BACS within a couple of days. We have our milk delivered with the weekly shop from ASDA and we definitely save money on it. Edited November 3, 2015 by GFCCCC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMidlands Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 thanks you people, i think we are swaying towards NMRU. However, hoping we dont regret the decision not to go with Coolmilk. I am not so concerned about what Coolmilk charges the government but more so about the convenience/admin work related to claiming the money back.

Guest Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Cool milk for us too, purely for ease. Never had any problems and confirming amounts is very simple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
