A brief history.

When the Second World War ended in 1945, many women who had worked during the war stayed on in their jobs. The English Government recognized that professional child care was a priority, and the National Nursery Examination Board (NNEB) was founded.

In 1994, the NNEB merged with the Council for Early Years Awards, and CACHE was formed. In 2001, the National Association for Maternal and Child Welfare (NAMCW) merged with CACHE, and Her Majesty the Queen became our patron.
