After becoming an approved NCFE training centre in January 2022, Apples and Honey Nightingale Education (AHE) has launched three Level 3 courses in Intergenerational Care and Education.

One is an award and the other course a certificate. The third, a diploma course, launches this September.

The first cohort of students that undertook the Level 3 award and the certificate have just graduated.

Judith Ish-Horowicz, AHN education and training ambassador and principal of Apples and Honey Nightingale, the first nursery in the UK to share the same site as a care home, told Nursery World, ‘To our knowledge, there are no other accredited qualifications in intergenerational practice in the UK, though there are other CPD accredited short courses in Scotland and Northern Ireland.’
