The Cool Milk initiative, in partnership with Glasgow City Council, aims to save nurseries time and administration costs. Previously, PVI nurseries have had to pay for milk in advance and then claim back the cost from the council after three months.
Every child under five is entitled to a free 189ml serving of milk if they attend registered daycare for more than two hours a day.
Semi-skimmed milk supplied by local farmers will be delivered by Cool Milk to up to 140 nurseries in Glasgow. The scheme will be invoiced directly from the dairies, which can also loan a free fridge and plastic beakers to store the milk.
