In
January 2003, a second review was undertaken by the Learning & Skills Council
to ascertain how the Project had progressed since the original assessment awarding
the IiP standard in November 2001. The Review confirmed that the standards had
been maintained and in many cases, had been greatly improved since the previous
assessment. Particular areas of the Project's work received positive comment including
the level of training support available and the excellent interaction between
staff and volunteers. It was also recognised that the Project's trustees, staff
and volunteers had a clear sense of the organisation's values, progression and
direction.

The
government introduced a new set of national guidelines for childcare to be operated
through OFSTED in 2001, including "Out of School Care". Our Grasshoppers group,
which operates the Saturday Club and Holiday Activity Schemes, became subject
to those regulations and in October 2003, the group received its first main inspection
under the new arrangements. The National Standards cover fourteen areas of the
setting including play and care, health and safety, special needs, equal opportunities
and transportation. All of our relevant policies are subject to constant review
and amended in line with the standards and updated guidance. The "Grasshoppers"
setting achieved a "Good" report praising the range
of activities arranged and care provided towards the children attending, as all
of them require additional support and receive one to one supervision from our
dedicated group of volunteers and carers.
