How you can help a village preschool in the Banburyshire area that has been devastated by flooding

A burst pipe has caused catastrophic damage to a village preschool in the Banburyshire area.

And Kings Sutton Preschool is now asking for the public's help so it can carry out the repairs.

The charity funded preschool, based in the grounds of the village primary school, had been in need of refurbishment and fundraising events in the local community had been held for a renovation.

But Covid-19 put all these plans on hold.

However, worse was to come for the preschool, which has been rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted.

A spokesperson for the spreschool said: "On May 18, we went into the building to prepare for reopening only to find that the building was flooded from a burst pipe.

"The damage that has been caused has been extensive and devastating.

"Furniture, children's play equipment, electronics, floors, kitchen units and internal doors have been damaged beyond repair and need replacing.

"Unable to open we are using a temporary building located on the school grounds which has limited space and resources."

Although they will receive money from insurance claims, they will only cover repairs relating to the flood damage.

"Any donations will contribute towards building a modernised, bright and fun filled environment for children to learn through play and will ensure that our community led preschool will continue to thrive and grow for children, parents, carers and the community for years to come," said the preschool.

So they have set up a Just Giving site for people to donate. The site https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/Kingssuttonpreschool
