I think you might as well wait till when you come back in Sept since it's not really that far away, unless there are kittens you have 'marked' already.
I think it's depends on where you get them from, if they are ex stray kittens from a cattery then you should definitely wait till you come back. That said, the advise from CHAT is they would rather cats be a bit bored in a new home that be in a cattery for longer than necessary.
If they are from a loving family, then my guess is as long as they are well socialized then I don't think it matters who looks after them as long as they are well entertained. Kittens are hard work which is why I wasn't advised, as a first time owner, to have a kitten.
