The spotlight was on Early Years professionals in-training at Nursery on the Green in Southall as they were celebrated by colleagues during National Apprenticeship Week.
At the setting on Thorncliffe Road, Apprentices; Alia Khan and Myra Khan were each presented with flowers and gifts from their grateful Managers, Meera Ladva and Harpreet Deol, who encouraged them to aim for their jobs in the future.
