The outdoor area at Bath Place Pre-school Nursery in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, desperately needed renovation, but there was no money for the work.
Nursery staff wanted to remove an old mural from the wall and build a sensory garden that would stimulate children's imagination and creativity.
The nursery, which provides 13 low-cost childcare places, is part of Bath Place Community Venture, a voluntary organisation set up 30 years ago to help vulnerable members of the local community. It runs a creche, a toddler group, a community cafe and an arts workshop.
Staff and children managed to raise 350 with raffles and a sponsored bounce, but needed more for materials and labour.
