Nightingale Hammerson is delighted to share some exciting news. Judith Ish-Horowicz MBE, Co-founder and Director of Apples and Honey Nightingale Nursery, has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Education by the University of Greenwich. Dr Judith Ish-Horowicz MBE, we are so very proud of you and the wonderful work you do to inspire and promote the importance of intergenerational care, not only within Nightingale House but to so many around the world.
During the presentation ceremony, the university commented, “Drawing from Jewish values while welcoming children of all faiths and none, Judith’s setting uses the rhythm of the Jewish year to deliver a rich early years education. The children who attend her nursery don’t just learn phonics and numbers – they learn empathy, continuity, and respect. Their “grandfriends” become integral to their development and understanding of the world, while the residents, many of whom never had families of their own, experience renewed purpose, connection, and joy.”
