    Default Scotts milk and milk for free NMRU

    Just had an email from NMRU with immediate effect they have suspended claims from the above companies. though it was worth letting you know.

    Thank you - I think Scotts stopped supplying most of us back in November, I have changed to Cool milk but even they have messed up my order this week - I told them that 1 child had stopped coming for 1 day a week - they changed my milk entitlement from 12 units to 8 units - I rang them told them it should still be 11 and told them they are on probation, one more mistake and I'll get my milk in Asda!

    I received the email today, so fed up of all the emails about validating when actually I have been doing it!
    Several of us went back to buying milk a few months ago

    I also use cool milk and never had any problems when I first registered last year I did try Scott's milk first who firstly lost my forms and after lots of phone calls told me they couldn't find a dairy to deliver my milk. A week after joining cool milk my first delivery came and we've had no problems since

    No validation required with WFRU - just put in your numbers and the money is put into your bank

    I have always claimed myself I don't see any problem plus I combine it with my Iceland shop spend 25 and get free delivery. I think these companies claim far too much for each carton and eventually the gov will stop all milk for the under 5s if this continues.

    I sent them a completed form and copy of my certificate back in January and never heard back. I presume I don't need enough milk delivered.

    I heard from them today. No more milk for childminders now only nurseries and schools because they have become too popular!
