The research, commissioned by AXA insurance, found the final shortlist to be dominated by traditional rhymes – while the famous song 'Let It Go' from Disney movie Frozen, also made an appearance.
Classics such as 'Wheels on the Bus', and 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' secured the first and second spot, respectively, with 51% and 34%. However, coming in at third place, was the modern hit, Let It Go, with 26%. Other rhymes making the final 10 include 'Hickory Dickory Dock', 'Three Blind Mice', and 'Baa, Baa, Black Sheep'.
The results come as it was revealed that 54% of parents will sing during car journeys in order to keep children entertained. Meanwhile, 59% of parents will give their children toys to play with in the car, and 45% will provide food and drink.
For those with kids between 0 and 1 years, 30% admit they and their partner take turns sitting in the backseat to keep their children entertained on a journey.
The focus on singing and in-car entertainment is said to be a diversion for most parents, as 45% said they worry about long journeys due to crying children, while 22% are concerned about food and drink spillages on car seats.
The top 10 nursery rhymes are:
1. Wheels on the bus (51%)
2. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (34%)
3. Frozen (26%)
4. Baa Baa Black Sheep (21%)
5. Alphabet song (16%)
6. Ring-a-ring-a-rose (11%)
7. Hickory Dickory Dock (9%)
8. Three Blind Mice (7%)
9. Rainbow song (6%)
10. Rock-a-bye Baby (6%)
Celebrity mum Julia Bradbury, who is working on a campaign with AXA, said of the findings: "I know all about the pressures of taking kids on car journeys. Like most mums, I understand the stress and frustration that a crying child can bring whilst in a car, which is why I am working with AXA to share my top tips on how to make car journeys more enjoyable and stress free."
James Barclay, Head of Product Management at AXA, added: "With the last bank holiday of the summer fast approaching, we want parents to have enjoyable and fuss-free car journeys. AXA's research shows it's the little things that parents do that mean a lot; ensuring car journeys run smoothly with children.
"The parents we surveyed take frequent pit stops during journeys (26%) or provide picture books (47%) to keep their little ones entertained. We hope these top tips will make life that little bit easier for parents across the UK."
