Police were alerted on Sunday evening after three children went missing.
A helicopter using heat sensitive equipment was called in to try and find the youngsters aged eight, ten and 11. They were believed to be walking to Hitchin from their Borehamwood home to see their mother.
Police officers on the ground eventually found the children safe and well not too far from Borehamwood and they were returned home.
