My DD began an apprenticeship at a Nursery, (Large company) in April 2012 she thought she was signing up for a Cache level 3 and it turns out that, not only is it a level 2 ( neither use nor ornament for future jobs) but even though she was working there from April 2012 on £2.60/hour her official training did not start until November 2012. She has now completed level 2 and they are ending her contract on june 30th and not offering her a level 3 even though they promised they would last year. She has absolutely worked her socks off for that nursery and has the most glowing references from her room manager and nursery manager but head office say no she cannot have another apprenticeship. I think this may be because she will be 19 at the end of the year and they wil have to start paying her £4.98/hour because they are already advertising for a new apprentice on the website before she has even gone anywhere. My question is, can they do this to her and if so should she be entititled to NMW for the work she did from April to November when she eventually got assigned a tutor and a college to do her official training. I cannot let this go, even though she will get another job somewhere else, she is brilliant and her refrences are so good, I feel these people are playing the system and my DD has suffered because of it.
