The Avon and Somerset Police force said officers were called to a house in the Sea Mills area of Bristol shortly after midnight and found the three children inside. It said a 42-year-old woman is in police custody at a hospital.
Neighbors said the children were all under 10, the youngest a baby.
Police did not disclose the relationship between the woman and the children but said it was “an isolated incident.
“This is an incredibly tragic and heart-breaking incident in which three children have sadly died,” said chief inspector Vicks Hayward-Melen.
