Since launching in 2016, Little Village’s team of over 600 volunteers has responded to nearly 20,000 requests for support across London, reaching over 22,000 children.
The visit is extra special for Kate, who has a particular interest in young children and has made it a focus of her royal life. Last year, the mother of three launched theRoyal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, which keys in on the five years of a child’s life and setting them up for future success.
But being around babies and toddlers also poses an occupational hazard: Kate has admitted in the past that she feels “broody” after meeting with young children.

On the first day of hersolo royal tour in Denmarkin February, Kate met with parents and their babies during a visit to the University of Copenhagen.
“It makes me very broody,” Kate shared. “William always worries about me meeting under 1-year-olds. I come home saying, ‘Let’s have another one.’ "
