The child killers — both inmates with 'enhanced' privileges at HMP Bronzefield, Surrey — also spend time in each other's cells and in the kitchen together.
But their love of the Uno game, which sees players try to match cards and yell 'Uno' when they have just one left, has sparked fury among staff and lags.
Our source said: 'It's a grim spectacle. They spend ages at the table playing and get really into it.
'People are angry, but staff have to do what they can to keep prisoners happy.
'Letby and Batool started sticking together and have now become quite friendly.
'They are both enhanced prisoners, so they get a lot of freedom and can buy decent food. And they are often in the kitchen, chatting and making cheese toasties.
'The difference between them is that Batool does not discuss her crime, while Letby tells anyone who will listen that she is innocent.
'They both have jobs, with Letby doing cleaning and Batool helping in the library.
'They are also monitored closely by staff as they are at risk of attack. But their lives will stay quite comfortable as long as they behave.'
Letby, 35, and Batool, 31, are held on Unit 4 of 527-inmate Bronzefield, which is run by private firm Sodexo.
I'm the expert who helped nail Lucy Letby - and here's eight reasons why she's guilty
They both have TVs with Freeview channels and a DVD player, along with books and films, which they can order from the library.
Others on the unit include Sian Hedges, jailed for life in 2024 for killing 18-month-old son Alfie Phillips.
Shamed prison officer Linda de Sousa Abreu, who romped with a lag, was also held there until her release last month.
Letby — convicted of the murders of seven babies and attempted murders of seven more while a neonatal nurse — has regular legal meetings as she plans her appeal.
Batool was sentenced last December for the murder of her tortured stepdaughter.
Sara's dad, Urfan Sharif, is serving at least 40 years for murder after she was beaten to death at the couple's home in Woking, Surrey.
A pre-inquest review into Sara's death will be held today.
The girl's mother, Olga Domin, has called for 'vital answers' about how authorities missed a dozen chances to save her.
A spokesman for Sodexo said they would not comment on individuals.

Harry left ‘devastated' by boardroom battle at his charity Sentebale
On Tuesday, the Charity Commission published a report into the episode criticising all sides for making the fallout public with interviews and statements, but the war of words has continued. The Duke of Sussex with Sentebale chairwoman Dr Sophie Chandauka, during a fundraising polo match for Sentebale (Yaroslav Sabitov/PA) Sentebale appeared to suggest allegations made by Dr Chandauka of bullying, harassment and misogyny at the charity – which the commission found no evidence of – may be pursued against individuals through 'avenues more appropriate'. A source said: 'This has been emotionally absolutely devastating for Prince Harry and (Sentebale co-founder) Prince Seeiso (of Lesotho). What's been perpetrated over the last few months is nothing short of a hostile takeover.' Seeiso also stepped down as patron of the charity which works in Botswana and Lesotho supporting the health and wellbeing of young people, especially those with HIV and Aids. The source added: 'You have to remember Prince Seeiso and Prince Harry started this charity nearly two decades ago to honour the work and continue the legacy of their mothers Queen Mamohato and Princess Diana, and the work that they had done in southern Africa to support those living with HIV and Aids. 'In the 19 years that they have worked with this charity, and a lot of the former board of trustee members, they have raised tens of millions of pounds and distributed tens of millions of pounds.' Prince Seeiso of Lesotho resigned as patron alongside Harry during the boardroom battle (Andrew Matthews/PA) The commission criticised all parties in the dispute for allowing it to play out publicly and described how all trustees contributed to a 'missed opportunity' to resolve the issues that led to the serious disagreement which risked undermining public trust in charities generally. The regulator, which cannot investigate individual allegations of bullying, found no evidence of systemic bullying or harassment, including misogyny or misogynoir at the charity but acknowledged 'the strong perception of ill treatment' felt by some involved. After conducting its regulatory compliance case the commission issued a Regulatory Action Plan with Sentebale saying it had complied with the steps, from implementing an internal dispute policy to improving the charity's complaints and whistle-blowing procedures. The trustees who resigned said in a statement they were 'gravely concerned for the future of the charity' adding they were 'disheartened' by the way the regulator had 'chosen to ignore key concerns and irrefutable evidence raised with them regarding the leadership and oversight of Sentebale's chair'. Sentebale said in statement: 'The Charity Commission is explicitly clear, including in its public guidance, that it is not the commission's responsibility to adjudicate or mediate internal disputes. This would include individual allegations of bullying, harassment, misogyny, misogynoir etc. Harry was presented with an embroidered traditional blanket by Lesotho's Prince Seeiso in 2010 (PA) 'As a result, the commission has not investigated any individual allegations and therefore has not made any findings in relation to individuals, including Prince Harry. 'The issues not investigated by the commission can and may be dealt with through avenues more appropriate than the commission.'

US Army sergeant shot five soldiers at Georgia's Fort Stewart, official says
Few details were immediately available about what led to the gunfire, but the suspect is an army sergeant, according to a US official. The official was not authorised to publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The army said it is investigating. The injured were treated and then moved to Winn Army Community Hospital, base officials said in a Facebook post, adding there was no threat to the community. Law enforcement was sent to the 2nd Armoured Brigade Combat Team complex shortly before 11am local time on Wednesday. The gunman was arrested at 11.35am, officials said. Fort Stewart was locked down for around one hour on Wednesday (Russ Bynum/AP) The lockdown lasted about an hour, and three schools just outside the base took steps similar to a lockdown as well, 'out of an abundance of caution', the Liberty County School System said. The lockdown lasted about an hour. After it was lifted, cars began to move through the normal security checkpoint at the fort's main gate. The army's 2nd Armoured Brigade Combat Team was created in 2016 when the service added more than 200 vehicles to an infantry unit of roughly 4,200 soldiers. Also known as the Spartan Brigade, the army has called the unit its 'most modern land fighting force'. Located about 40 miles south west of Savannah, Fort Stewart is the largest army post east of the Mississippi River. It is home to thousands of soldiers assigned to the army's 3rd Infantry Division and family members. The fort's three elementary schools were also locked down, community superintendent Brian Perry told WTOC-TV. The schools have nearly 1,400 students, according to the Department of Defence. White House and Defence Department officials said President Donald Trump and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth had been briefed on the shooting. The FBI was at the fort to help investigate, said deputy director Dan Bongino.
