RST make the F1RST 24 fork and Manitou make a J-unit 24 fork.

What's the build as a 26 fork might be workable?

According to the Forme website they appear to be RST forks.

Carrera or BMC Blasts both look to be designed around 24 so 26 unlikely workable
My youngests Snypers on his vpace are pretty good.
These ebay forks at 90quid might well be worth a punt though

I put 26" Fox F80's on my kids 24" blast build.
There wasn't a great deal of difference in the A-C between the stock anchors and the Fox's.

Just a quick update for anyone still mulling these over. I took advantage of an Ebay discount code and got these for a little over £70. Quality is actually not that bad considering the price and a heck of a lot better than others I've seen on kids bikes. They feel a little over damped for the air pressure required for my lad, even on the fastest setting. All in all, worth a punt at the price.

Did you weigh them before fitting?

Nope, other than to compare them to a pair of Marzocchi carbon 29er 1600g forks I had knocking about and they felt similar. The rigid forks I took off were steel and not exactly featherweight. We’ll see how he gets on.

I nearly bought a set but would need to source a disc wheel and brake.

I just received some for my daughter's Orbea
They weigh 1660g.
I made an offer at 10% less and then used a 15% eBay voucher

Looking at the pictures of the snypers I don't think they are. The lowers are different as are the adjusters and crown
