Nursery

Nurseries are very well-protected, comfortable dens where queens and their kits live. She-cats move to the nursery shortly before giving birth, and stay there until their kits are apprenticed, after which they become warriors again. Some queens decide not to return to warrior duties; instead, they remain in the nursery to help and supervise the other queens and kits.

ThunderClan Nursery

 * ThunderClan's nursery is protected by a wall of brambles, and has a distinct milky smell. This nursery has another exit from the camp behind it, next to the dirt place, though is usually not used. It is the base of many attacks from ShadowClan, including Clawface's raid.

ShadowClan Nursery

 * ShadowClan's nursery is in a hollow, shielded by a thorn bush. The scent of milk comes from inside.

WindClan Nursery

 * WindClan's nursery is under the gorse thicket that is surrounding the camp and is near to the elders' den.

RiverClan Nursery

 * RiverClan's nursery is next to a shallow part of the river, and the kits inherit their love of water and learn how to swim quickly. Instead of a moss-bedding, it has nice warm sand, though in Bluestar's Prophecy, Bluefur notices the RiverClan nests are made of sticks that look oddly uncomfortable, Crookedjaw states if the river were to flood, the nests would float. When Mistyfoot was a queen the river swept two of her kits away; they were rescued from the river by Fireheart and Graystripe.

SkyClan Nursery

 * SkyClan's nursery is a deep, red-brown cave, protected by a massive, red boulder. Inside the cave are a row of small claw across larger marks on a column of stone. Firestar thinks that they are kit marks across the queens' scratches, he then discovers that they are from rats, and after the rat battle, Leafstar scratches over them.

ThunderClan Nursery

 * ThunderClan's nursery under the biggest bramble thicket from a tree at the top of the stone hollow. The nests are made out of moss.

ShadowClan Nursery

 * ShadowClan's nursery is under low hanging brambles and pine tree branches. It is noted to have the lowest branches and be near the middle of the camp next to the apprentices' den and near to the elders' den so they are the most protected.. The nests are made out of pine nettles.

RiverClan Nursery

 * RiverClan's nursery is made of brambles near a tree beside the stream. Often there is a patch of sunlight just outside.

WindClan Nursery

 * WindClan's nursery is a gorse bush against a boulder. The nests are made of feathers.
