Sweet Cuddles Nursery

Fortnightly private speech and language sessions give Sweet Cuddles Nursery a concrete addition to its play-based day. Based at St John's church hall in Isleworth, it has capacity for 52 children aged 6 to 60 months. No Ofsted inspection has been published for this setting yet.

An in-house kitchen, individual learning plans and regular parent meetings add practical substance to the offer. Attendance follows the school year, with both shorter funded sessions and longer days.

Learning combines play with planned activities covering language, physical development, social and emotional skills, early literacy and numeracy. Here, imaginative play and practical exploration sit alongside early literacy and numeracy. Circle time gives children opportunities to listen and share experiences; cooperative games introduce taking turns and working together.

Private speech and language sessions run fortnightly, with activities tailored to individual communication needs. This gives families a specific support option alongside the nursery day, rather than a general promise about language development.

Tapestry shares daily routines with parents, while termly meetings cover learning and agree next steps. Coffee Mornings offer informal contact with a child's key person and other families. These are different ways to stay involved: everyday updates, planned discussions and conversation over coffee.

For children with special educational needs, staff work with families and professionals on individual learning plans and adjustments, with outside agencies involved. Support for children learning English includes visual prompts, bilingual books and language games, alongside collaboration with families about their home language.

Fresh food is prepared in the nursery's in-house kitchen, with lunch cooked daily by a chef. Meals and snacks carry separate charges, and parents cannot send their own food.

Sessions and Attendance

The address is St John's church hall, Saint John's Road, Isleworth TW7 6NY. Opening hours are 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, during term time; the nursery operates for 38 weeks and closes for school holidays. Contact is through WhatsApp, telephone or the enquiry form.

For 15 funded hours, families can use 9am to noon or 1pm to 4pm across five days, or longer sessions from 8am to 1pm or noon to 5pm across three days. For 30 funded hours, the options are five days from 9am to 3pm, or three days from 8am to 5pm plus an additional three-hour session.

Funding and Paid Extras

Funding is accepted from nine months upwards. The Universal Entitlement covers 15 weekly term-time hours for children over three; the Extended Entitlement adds 15 hours subject to income and working-hours eligibility. Funding runs term-time rather than stretched across the year, and additional private hours are charged separately.

Parents supply nappies, wipes and sun cream; nursery-supplied nappies and sun cream incur charges. Funding-only attendance requires no deposit, but adding private hours brings a deposit requirement. A non-refundable registration charge puts a child on the waiting list, whose priorities include attending children increasing sessions and their siblings. Current prices come in the nursery's written quotation; the fees and funding page explains the arrangements.

• School-holiday cover. The 38-week calendar leaves holidays outside nursery attendance. Families needing year-round care will need another arrangement.
• Funded-place costs. Food is charged separately, and consumables come from home unless chargeable nursery supplies are chosen. Include these items when comparing total costs.
• Speech and language support. Fortnightly private sessions are an identifiable addition. At a visit, ask how these connect with your child's individual learning plan.

Sweet Cuddles suits families seeking morning or afternoon funded sessions as well as longer term-time days. Parent communication and private speech and language provision give it a clear practical character. The school-holiday closure and separate food charges are central to deciding whether the arrangement fits.
