Lauren Hayward, is the managing director of family-run operator Torridon Education Group, which has nurseries in Elgin and Lossiemouth, and said the repeated acts of vandalism have left staff devastated.
She said: “We had been closed for the holidays and were all locked up but we did have a member of staff coming in last week and they found mess everywhere.
“It was all tidied up again but then we came in on Monday to discover a lot more damage had been done.
“It is just needless violence and is so upsetting to come in and see in the morning.”
