A collection tin containing money intended for a new minibus was taken during a break-in in June at Ladybirds Nursery School in Littlehampton.
But the local community has since stepped in to replace the stolen money and boost the campaign.

Sarah quickly discovered that the tin containing donations from children and parents intended for a new minibus had been stolen.
Siobhan O’Hara, whose daughter goes to the nursery, spoke about the collection tin: “It clearly says on the lid what it was for and they still had the audacity to take it.
“My son, daughter and a lot of the children were putting in their pocket money.”

She has organised a fun day in order to raise money for the minibus.
The event will feature a bouncy castle, face painting and much, much more.
Entry costs £1 and the event will run between 1pm and 5pm.
