Children and staff at a Haddenham nursery raised £900 for Children In Need - nine times their original target - by dressing in pyjamas and completing a sponsored exercise week.

During the exercise week, the team at Hillrow Day Nursery completed a Joe Wicks workout, yoga, zumba, dancing, obstacle courses, exercise sports and many more activities.

Joanne Habbin, who is one of the managers at the nursery, said: “We all had Pudsey biscuits made by our cook Leesa and took part in the Children In Need duck race.”
