Hi, my name is Penny, I am an Ofsted registered childminder based in Kidderminster and at my last Ofsted Inspection I received 'Outstanding'. I first registered as a childminder in 1998 and prior to this I was a Community Nurse. I provide activities and experiences in a caring and safe environment to help meet children's needs, enabling them to learn, develop and make excellent progress. I focus on caring and supporting and nurturing children's personal, social and emotional health and well-being as the grounding for all other learning. Children are encouraged to develop their communication and language skills through fostering a love of stories, songs and rhymes. Children develop strength and co-ordination through being physically active both indoors and outdoors.
