Popular Cbeebies presenter Nisha Anil made her younger fans' dreams come true on Saturday when she visited Wexham Road Children’s Centre in Slough.

Ms Anil led a story telling session with the children at the centre - giving them a live taste of the imaginative flights of fancy she has brought to their television screens.

She is most known for her Cbeebies programme Same Smile, where she takes three cuddly pandas on adventures across the UK to look at children's lives discovering that we are all the same but different.

She is also trained in Bunraku style-puppetry and regularly delivers drama and puppet workshops to schools.

But you do not have to be a toddler to love her.

She is also known by many as a singer in the Herberts, a Reading-based band covering a variety of styles including jazz, folk, soul, blues, ska and anything else.

Saturday's excited young fans could well be enjoying her versatility many years from now.
