Toddlers and staff at Copperbeech Day Nursery have raised more than £2,000 for charity in only two months of fundraising.

The effort started in May with a treasure hunt where children followed clues to find goodies and ended with an auction of pledges which alone raised £1,000.

The nursery, on The Rye, High Wycombe, chooses a charity every year and this time the money raised will go to the Asthma Society.

Other events included a fancy dress day, Guess the teddy's name, personalised tea-towels and face painting.

Yvonne Green, officer in charge, said: "We also received a wonderful donation from one of our dads who ran the Wycombe half marathon and presented us with a cheque for £250, making our overall total £2051.

"During all of our events, all ages of children have participated and we have had tremendous support from both the parents and the staff."
