Manchester Settlement is a Manchester-based charity offering youth, family services and childcare, housing and community activities, including a nursery. Its what's-on calendar includes a weekly "Stay and Play for children with SEND" session (Mondays 10:30am-12) where parents/carers stay with the children, alongside general Stay and Play sessions for babies to preschool age, family walks and picnics, Lego for Wellbeing, gameshow mornings, family coach trips, community café, exercise classes, work club, food pantry and advice services (Shelter housing advice, Citizens Advice, Be Well, Penny Plan).
No specific ages are given for the SEND session beyond "young children"; other Stay and Play sessions are described as for babies to preschool age. Wider services are open to families and adults in the community.
The page states a dedicated Stay and Play session for young children with special educational needs and disabilities, at which parents/carers stay with the children. The charity notes it is recognised as committed to the Disability Confident Employers Scheme and describes a friendly reception team, but no details of SEN-trained staff or ratios are given.
