What Do Early Years Say

About us

Busy Bees Day Nursery
We’ve always provided milk but found the old scheme to be a hassle. With Cool Milk, it is hassle-free with no paperwork and never costs us a penny. It is also very beneficial to have it delivered to our door rather than having to fetch it from the shops.
Jayne Neyland
Nursery Leader
Little Me Nursery
In accordance with guidelines, Cool Milk provides us with whole milk for our under-twos and semi-skimmed milk for older children. We think this is the right balance between giving the children plenty of energy and a suitable amount of fat – and the parents agree!
