The actress, 45, was casual in a loose pair of jeans and white shirt, her hair loose in a mass of curls.
Nahla was adorable in a pair of rolled up jeans, white trainers and a frilly bright pink top.
The twosome later took a ride in a trailer around the park, accompanied by other parents and young children.

The exhibition opens with an immediate wow factor, as film posters stretch along a corridor where a replica Sean Connery leans against his beautiful 1964 Aston Martin DB5.
The white bikini Ursula Andress wore as she emerged from the sea in Dr No’s jaw-dropping beach scene is also on display alongside other but slightly less renowned swimwear.
    The bikini, quite tiny close up, is displayed alongside Halle Berry’s orange two-piece from Die Another Day and a recreation of Sir Sean Connery’s shorts from Thunderball.

    These are also part of the display which will tour internationally after the show closes at London’s Barbican in September.
    Oscar-winning costume designer and co-curator Lindy Hemming said: ‘This is an exhibition which deals with design in film.
    ‘So we have entered the archives which EON have collected over the years and we have tried to take pieces, interesting objects which would help us to understand design in films and the objects range from gadgets, clothing, jewellery, wonderful drawings of sets and models of sets and artwork.
    ‘It is a vast array of different things.

    ‘They are all themed in a world that gives you the feel of being in a Bond film.
    ‘Bond films have been responsible for the British film industry working constantly over the years when there were other lulls and therefore kept many technicicans in employment.’
    Hemming, who has worked on various Hollywood hits, said she hoped crowds flocked to the exhibition.
    Describing her role, she said: ‘It’s magic - you go on your own adventure, you are given a mission and you go on an adventure and it ends up that you have produced a film and the film is captured on celluloid so you can look at your own work and that is exciting.
    The exhibition includes a recreation of the actress Jill Masterson covered in gold paint, a famous scene from the film Goldfinger

    ‘It has been an amazing thing to do and I am really glad we have been able to pull it off and hope people come and learn from or enjoy it.’
    The numerous Bond villains have a starring role in the exhibition which also showcases Scaramanga’s golden gun, Oddjob’s deadly bowler hat and Rosa Klebb’s flick-knife shoes from From Russia With Love.
    But the exhibition also goes beyond the MI6 agent and looks at his creator, Ian Fleming, who based many stories and character traits on his own experiences, knowledge and friends.
    The experience covers 14 different topics and includes a recreation of spymaster M’s office, a look at the recurring importance of casinos in Bond films, an ‘ice palace’ showing outfits and items from Bond’s snowy adventures and concludes with a 007 Martini Bar.
