Canopy Children's Nursery, which operates in St Albans, Watford, Garston and Radlett, has celebrated its first year in business.

The nursery, which provides care for babies and children aged up to four years old, held an open day to mark the milestone.

Owners Mihir Shah and Karishma Dhamecha welcomed families to join in various activities, including arts and crafts, water play, and outdoor games.

There was also an opportunity to meet animals such as rats, lizards, and snakes.

Karishma Dhamecha said: "It has been a fantastic year getting to know all our parents and children and we really do appreciate how supportive they have all been.

"It was wonderful to be able to invite lots of local families along to mark such a special occasion for us, there was lots of food and of course cake for everyone to enjoy.

"We are looking forward to welcoming more new parents and children to the Canopy family."
