to Somersham Carnival 2013. The excitement is

building for a fantastic week of events with something for everyone. Our

theme this year is "Beside The Seaside" and the Procession and Fancy Dress

Contest on Carnival Day are great excuses to dress up and join the fun.

All you really need are shorts, T-shirt, flip flops and a knotted hanky on

your head. Or maybe you’ll opt for the Edwardian promenading look – all

bustles and parasols – or even come as your favourite crustacean? The most

important thing is to take part and to enjoy yourself.

In this programme, you’ll find details of all the great entertainment lined

up for you – all through Carnival week. Each event is designed to give you a

fantastic time at Carnival 2013. So, breath in that sea air, feel the sand

between your toes, and get in the seaside holiday spirit – you’ll have the

perfect opportunity on the Seaside Special Carnival coach trip (see page 19).

New this year, on Saturday June 15 we have Community Games (with a

beach theme, of course) and Big Walkies at the Nature Reserve (see page 7). A

week later, there’s a feast of music at the Seaside Rock concert – the full line

up playing at the Victory Hall is on page 29.

So, come join us during Carnival Week to celebrate living in this great

Somersham community. Have you got your whistle ready? Your flags? Your

‘kiss-me-quick’ hat? Looking forward to seeing you there.

With grateful thanks for all your continuing support,

First Step Playgroup is a small friendly playgroup. We aim to provide an enabling environment where each

child is treated as ‘unique’ and valued for their individuality and diversity, which is respected in all its forms.

Children can start playgroup from the age of 2 years and 6 months.

We were inspected by Ofsted in January 2011 and received ‘GOOD’

‘Staff and management have a commitment to ongoing professional development and as a result, staff are well qualified and ably support children in their learning… Independent learning is well developed and children are active confident learners,’ (Ofsted, 2011)

We are members of the Pre-school Learning Alliance. The manager has a level 5 qualification with all other staff qualified up to level 3 and are first-aid trained.

We are open from 9:00a.m to 11:30a.m; 11:30a.m to 12:30p.m Lunch club; 12:30p.m to 3:00p.m
