The block launched under the name Noggin on 17 May 2004.^[1] The block ran from 6 PM until 8 PM.^[2] The block was rebranded as Nick Jr. Classics on 1 September 2005, where it began airing from 8:00pm to 10:00pm.

The block was first seen on Nick Jr., and was also shown on Nick Jr. 2 before it permanently moved to that channel on 5 January 2009. The slot was popular with both the target audience and parents/guardians.

The block closed down on 30 April 2010, following the rebranding of both channels. Bob the Builder and Thomas the Tank Engine relocated to the other channels (the first until 2012).
