There are plenty of music libraries (including free) where you can download music for videos.
Most have at least some of the popular nursery rhymes available.
But there is only one resource (that I know of) that offers a growing collection of nursery rhymes AND takes requests for new uploads!

Are nursery rhymes videos popular on YouTube?
Based on the number of views and subscribers alone I think it’s safe to say, this type of content is extremely popular!
