Leavers were presented with a special certificate from the Village Nursery in Challenge Close

Pre school pupils in Harlesden were celebrating after donning their mortars and gowns to honour their graduation.

The children, from the Village Nursery in Challenge Close, were presented with a leaver’s certificate at a special ceremony with their proud parents watching on.

Angela Kolb, manager of the nursery, said the day was about ‘honouring children’s next step.’

She told the Times: “It was a lovely day and great to see the children so happy.”

During the day, on Saturday, August 4, all 25 pupils were given a memorable send off ahead of their primary school life. Mrs Kolb continued: “We try and give children the best start in life here and this was all about that.

“It’s a small nursery and is more like a small family so we always like to give children a good send off.

“The whole day was about the children entertaining their parents and most importantly having fun and giving them confidence ahead of their school life.”
