Hello lovely people..

Thinking of claiming for free milk for under 5s. Do I need to let the parents know? Some of mine provide all food and drink. One of the little ones does not bring milk to my house only food and jucie and water bottle. Another one does.

I am thinking of asking if the first child mentioned drinks milk?

What did you do when ordering milk?

Thank you

they dont ask childrens names if you do it through scotts milk so wouldnt make a difference if they got it at school. also they wouldnt no if 1 of the under 5s was your own they just look at cerficate to see how many you are registered for

Can you claim for your own kids too? and what if they (mindee's) already get free milk from school?

I get 4 1/2 pints a week through Scott's.

Gutted i only get 5 pints a week

You can claim for morning session and afternoon session children the same way a nursery does. So if you have dif kids morning n afternoon then you would get more milk

And only for under 5s

HSMM · 21/04/2012 16:21

Blimey Lisa! How many do you look after? It's only 1/3 pint per child per day.

google 'milk for free'.I use Scotts and get 14 pints a week.You can have it any way you want-skimmed,semi,full,organic,small cartons with straws,pints,litre or 2 litre cartons.Saves me a fortune!!

I claim mine through Scott's my friend uses cool milk. Some people are wary if claiming through agencies but I find it easier and I never told my parents.

I have always claimed for milk through nurserymilk. 1/3 pt a day for each child. I have never told an of the parents it works out at approx £15 a month
