Our Story From curiosity to conviction,
how Nannycare came to be

A Beginning Born from Curiosity

Nannycare wasn’t something I planned. It started with two friends who saw the potential of goat milk formula in the UK, but as challenges mounted, they stepped away. That’s when I got involved.

I had a background in business and science, but no experience in baby formula. What I did have was curiosity.

As I studied the research, I was struck by how goat milk differed from cow’s milk, and how some of its natural properties more closely resembled those found in breast milk.

But despite the science, goat milk formula wasn’t even allowed under EU or UK regulations. It simply hadn’t been considered. That realisation lit a fire in me.

Discovering the World’s Leaders

That’s when we turned to the true pioneers: Dairy Goat Co-operative (DGC) in New Zealand.

They had developed the world’s first goat milk formula and led the field in scientific understanding of its unique qualities.

Working in close collaboration with their exceptional research team, two major clinical trials were conducted using the Nannycare formulation.

Changing the Law — Opening a Door for Families

With DGC’s scientific leadership and Nannycare’s work on the regulatory submissions, we built a strong case, and after years of determined effort, a breakthrough was achieved.

In 2014, the law changed. Goat milk formula was officially recognised as a safe and suitable alternative to cow’s milk formula.

For the first time, parents were given a real and long-overdue choice.
Without this work, goat milk formula would not be available in the UK or Europe today.

We’re incredibly proud of that.

It’s All About Giving Families a Real Choice

We didn’t set out to build a baby brand.

We set out to bring something new, a real alternative for families, rooted in the natural strengths of goat milk. Something we felt had been missing for far too long.

That was just the beginning.

Since then, we’ve been on a journey shaped by care, curiosity, and commitment.
