Founded in 1991, Nannycare has led the science of goat milk nutrition for babies for over 30 years. Holding a unique certification from Climate Partner in relation to its sustainability efforts, Nannycare, is the premium choice for parents seeking quality natural ingredients, science and a focus on sustainability.
Nannycare has conducted multiple clinical trials to support its formulas, including a pivotal study that directly influenced EU and UK legislation changes. In doing so, the company has successfully paved the way for all goat milk formulas currently on the market.
“Additionally,” says Claire MD of Nannycare, “a recent study compared babies (without allergy symptoms) fed Nannycarewith those fed cow’s milk formula. The study concluded that babies fed goat milk formula were less fussy and more content, which aligns with what many parents have shared with us over the years!”
Nannycare has selected goat milk for its Follow-On Milk due to some of its natural properties having closer similarity to breast milk, compared to cow’s milk. Claire explains that goat milk contains naturally softer curds and higher levels of natural oligosaccharides and medium-chain fatty acids than cow’s milk. This ensures a gentle, creamy formula that is easy on delicate tummies.
Upholding its commitment to quality, Nannycare sources its fresh whole goat milk from a cooperative of specialist farms. Each goat has been carefully selected and grass fed to produce the highest quality milk containing soft curds. “Unlike goats raised for cheese production, which results in firmer curds, our approach ensures a naturally gentle and creamy formula especially suited for your baby’s Follow-On Milk.”
The company uses fewer vegetable oils than other competitors, instead relying more on the natural milk fat from whole goat milk. This results in a formula containing twice as much natural milk fat compared to Nannycare’s closest competitor, offering parents a premium choice with carefully balanced natural ingredients in their baby’s Follow-On Milk.
“Our formula contains twice the amount of whole milk and natural milk fat compared to our closest competitor,” says Claire. “This significantly increases the natural milk content. It means more of the natural properties found in real milk, with less reliance on added ingredients, providing a closer-to-nature formula.”
Furthermore, Nannycare minimises the processing of its formula by using fewer heat steps, preserving the natural qualities of whole goat milk. Other goat milk formulas rely on adding highly processed ingredients such as whey, which is proven unnecessary in goat milk formula. Nannycare leverages three decades of pioneering research and expertise to create a high-quality formula, carefully balanced to meet the nutritional needs of growing babies.
What’s more, Nannycare is dedicated to minimising its environmental impact through eco-friendly practices, supporting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, and ensuring transparency through its labelling. The company continually reviews its ClimatePartner certification to remain committed to sustainable strategies.
“At Nannycare, our mission goes beyond offering high-quality formula for your baby – we’re also committed to caring for the planet” says Claire. “We’re proud to share that Nannycare is officially certified by ClimatePartner a trusted certification organisation for climate action. This recognition makes Nannycare the only certified goat milk formula in the UK, highlighting our dedication to a sustainable future for both your baby and the environment.”
Nannycare is a top-tier company with a resolute dedication to offering high-quality formula alternatives for parents. Through its stellar services and pioneering spirit, Nannycare has deservedly earned the title of Goat Milk Baby Formula Company of the Year 2024 – UK.
