St Quintin Centre for Children with Disabilities
The St Quintin Centres offer state of the art specialist play services, activities and support for children and young people with disabilities and their families.
St Quintin Centre has two sites in Kensington and Chelsea, one in the north and one in the south of the borough.
Who can use our centres
To access our services, your child with a disability will need to be living in the borough of Kensington & Chelsea. Priority is given to those children with the most complex needs.
You can access our Centres through two routes:
- As part of a package provided through the Children with Disabilities Family Help Service. All children who meet the criteria for the Service will receive a 'Single Assessment' undertaken by a Family Help Practitioner or Social Worker to identify their needs and determine the most appropriate intervention and support to help meet their needs. Sessions at St Quintin’s may be offered if recommended through the assessment.
- Drop-in sessions. These can be accessed without an assessment from the Children with Disabilities Family Help Service.
Our Centres are run by a passionate and specialised team. If you have any questions about our services or need advice, get in touch. We're here to help.
