RIMU Music Nursery which was established in 2012 by by Nathalie Richardson was rated outstanding in 2017Nathalie's desire to set up the RIMU Music Nursery has its roots in her stage school, Step Up Performing Arts School, that she has run at a number of locations throughout London for 21 years. She was able to see first-hand the positive effect that music and the performing arts has had on many of my students and additionally she has seen how music opens up opportunities to students that they would not normally have.Music is integrated into the fabric of RIMU and, as a nursery we are unusual in the wide range of peripatetic classes that we run every day at no extra cost. Children at RIMU get to experience music classes, singing classes, ballet, street dance and gymnastics. As well as being great fun these studies improve concentration, hand eye coordination, team work and fitness.RIMU Nursery is for children aged 6 months to 5 years. As well as being a graduate of The Guildhall School of Music, Nathalie has run Step Up Theatre Schools in South East London and Essex for over 20 years. RIMU is using Sunfields Methodist Church, Old Dover Road, Blackheath SE3 as its venue.RIMU Nursery is a Day Nursery which is open 51 weeks of the year from 8am-6pm and has a maximum of 40 Full Time places. RIMU Nursery accepts the government's free entitlement for 3+ and employers vouchers.We introduce the children to music through different mediums such as Ballet and Street Dance. The children also use music in the gymnastics class. In addition to those classes, RIMU has a weekly singing class (although they sing everyday) and the 3+ group are learning the recorder. Also, we play a variety of music to the children during their normal sessions exposing them to classical, Jazz, Musical Theatre and Pop Music. The daily presence of music has a calming effect on the nursery.Weekly activities include: Ballet; Drama; Gymnastics; Street Dance; Music/Singing
