Staff at a pre-school are overjoyed at receiving a grant for new security.
Over the past six months, the Blackbird Leys Pre-School has repeatedly been a target for vandals.
Helpers and parents at the Moorbank-based nursery launched a campaign to raise cash to beef-up security.
The pre-school has now installed shutters and grills at the cost of £1,000 to protect the building. Oxford City Council donated a £500 grant to the scheme.
Manager Sarah Arbour said: "We were plagued by vandalism to the garden and outside of the building.
"That caused staff and parents to worry about the possibility of a break-in."
