Mace Montessori School, which also uses the scheme in its two Hammersmith nurseries, encouraged the local council to work in partnership with leading school supplier Cool Milk to provide all PVI nurseries in Camden with free milk.
Every child aged under five attending nursery for two or more hours a day is entitled to a 189ml serving of milk.
Cool Milk pays and arranges for dairies to deliver the milk and deals with any problems with the supplier.
The initiative, now running in 70 local authorities, aims to save nurseries time and administration costs. Previously settings have had to pay for milk in advance and wait up to four months to be reimbursed.
