“As a preschool we understand the importance of early intervention and offering support to children and their families.

“We hope to use this kind donation to provide various resources to encourage speech, language and communication skills.”

The donation comes from the Police Property Act Fund (PPAF), made up of monies received by the police from property confiscated by order of the court and then sold.

A/Detective Sergeant Emma O’ Dwyer said: “I am really happy to support early education within the community.

“It is wonderful to see the Police Property Act Fund supporting younger people as they embark on a lifetime of knowledge development.”

The preschool is a non-profit run charity established more than 50 years ago and is based in the Village Hall in Upper Beeding.

It is a committee run playgroup and belongs to the charity commission.

The preschool relies heavily on fundraising events and donations in order to buy new equipment and toys for the children.
