A Halloween-themed open day took place at a community pre-school today.

Children at Valley Pre-School, Rossiter Fields, Chipping Barnet made ghosts and spiders in keeping with the spooky theme.

Zaynah Mellouki, seven, who has a two-year-old sister at the nursery, decided to dress-up as a fairy as she did not want to scare her sister.

Zaynah said: “After I rode a bicycle, which was fun, I saw facepaints that look like a pumpkin.”
