BUSY Kate Middleton hit the road again today for her FOURTH royal engagement in a week.

The Duchess of Cambridge headed to a London nursery this morning, ready to help serve breakfast to kids as she promotes her survey into early childhood.

Over the past seven days, Kate has visited a children's hospital, attended a memorial ceremony and visited a prison in Woking.

And she today seemed just as energetic as she was welcomed to the nursery in London - stunning in a warm £270 Jigsaw blue coat paired with black trousers and boots.

The visit to LEYF (London Early Years Foundation) Stockwell Gardens Nursery and Pre-School comes after the royal was forced to postpone the engagement last week due to bad weather.

And the 38-year-old appeared keen to meet with students and staff today to discuss her new project.

The survey, called Five Big Questions On The Under Fives, was launched last week and aims to spark a UK-wide conversation on raising the next generation.

The LEYF is a social enterprise that aims to add value to the life of the community and future generations by strengthening local networks, demonstrating the role that everyone has.

It operates 39 nurseries in some of London's most disadvantaged areas and provides high-quality childcare to more than 4,000 children, employing more than 800 staff locally - along with 60 apprentices - across 11 London boroughs.

Yesterday, Kate was keen to meet with patients at Evelina London Children's Hospital - joining in on creative workshops.

Earlier this week, she also stood by husband Prince William as the pair attended an emotional ceremony honouring the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust. 

And she last week performed a string of engagements in just one day - heading to a children's centre and HMP Send in Woking to promote the survey.

It comes after her brother-in-law Prince Harry headed to Canada last week to be with his wife Meghan Markle and son Archie.

The Sussexes have relocated to North America after the couple announced they were stepping down from the royal family in bombshell news.

But Kate has continued to perform her royal duties, already attending a palace reception with husband Prince William last week.
