The charity, which was the government's strategic partner for early years and childcare, went into administration last week after transferring many of the services it provides to Action for Children and local authorities.
A Charity Commission spokesman said 4Children contacted it prior to closure and it worked closely with the charity "to ensure that there was minimum disruption to their services and beneficiaries".
"While it is sad to hear of the charity's closure, we are pleased that the charity has worked hard to ensure that the vast majority of its services will continue and disruption to its beneficiaries and staff will be minimal," the spokesman added.
"The commission is continuing to engage with the charity's trustees and administrators on these matters."
The spokesman said the option is available to escalate any case that the commission has open into a statutory inquiry, but added that there is no suggestion that it will necessarily do so in this case.
4Children was responsible for more than 100 children's centres and around 40 nurseries - the majority of which have been transferred to new providers.
Out of 4Children's 1,068 staff, a total of 46 will lose their jobs.
The organisation's most recent accounts prior to its collapse show that it had a deficit of £2.8m in 2014/15.
