The duchess was very pleased to see all the youngsters representing Place2Be at the event!

Everyone posed for a group picture as the event kicked off! Kate adorably matched the youngsters' uniforms.

Two choirs performed at the reception, which must have made the evening even more special!

Kate also gave a speech at the reception. She spoke about everything she's done with Place2Be since 2013, saying it was special to her.

"[It is] a charity that I feel hugely privileged to work with, and I am so passionate about the support it provides and the impact it has on children, families and communities," she said.
