DONATIONS have been made to a pre-school hit by a major flood.
Kind-hearted donors have so far paid out £360 to Harefield Community Pre-School in Southampton.
It comes after a flood over the summer wrecked the nursery, leaving toys and furniture mouldy.

As reported, a hot water pipe burst and was left leaking until staff at a nursery next door noticed.
Now a fundraiser has seen donors back the pre-school.
A statement on the GoFundMe page said: "The pre-school is insured but the insurance will not cover all of the damage, it is such a shame for the hard working staff that they couldn't open to existing children or any newcomers who were due to start.
"Mould destroyed nearly all of the toys, puzzles, teddies and play things. Hopefully this GoFundMe can help the Pre-School buy much needed new toys for the children when they reopen."
The nursery has a £1,000 fundraising target.
