About us
Supporting families with trusted out of school care
First 4 Kids is a local charity providing fun, affordable and flexible childcare for school children across Falkirk. Our play-led approach helps children build confidence, friendships and independence in a safe, welcoming environment.
“First4Kids is a stable, pleasant and nurturing environment for my children to be looked after. It is the only childcare we have used where the children think it’s a ‘club’ and are positive about being there. We could pick up our children straight from school as we are both still working from home, but this gives us space to properly concentrate on work. We are then better able to focus on the children when they are home.”
