A spokesperson said: "Our children and staff are heartbroken to witness the vandalism in our Nursery garden which has taken place over the weekend.
"Only 1 month ago our garden was renovated by 20 volunteers from Santander and our Jeely staff who worked so hard putting in their time and effort to making our garden a colourful and exciting environment for our children.
"Donations were used to purchase new garden furniture and resources which have been left damaged and broken.
"We are so disappointed, police have been informed."
Police Scotland told the Glasgow Times they did not have a record of the incident.
The shocking display left locals appalled, with one person saying: "This is disgusting!"
Another said: "Horrible behaviour."
A third added: "Desperately sad."
Founded in 1975, the Jeely Piece Club is dedicated to helping provide opportunities for both children and adults, keeping the community at the heart of its work.
All children are welcome, no matter their circumstances. The Jeely Early Years Centre and the Jeely Playzone Centre have provided spaces for youngsters to have fun whilst their parents can relax in the café.
