She-cats go in the nursery to rest while they're expecting their kits and to give birth to their kits. Nurseries are often much more comfortable than a regular warrior den. Some Queens, such as Daisy, stay in the nursery to help other queens with kits long after their kits are apprenticed, but most she-cats return to their warrior duties when their kits are apprenticed. Very rarely, like in Squirrelflight's situation, nursing Queens go back to warrior duties as long as another queen is caring for her kits.
