History
Nick Jr. Kuboia was originally launched on 31st July 2000 as a block on Nickelodeon Kuboia, airing in three 120-minute segments which began at 7:00a.m., 12:00p.m. and 5:00p.m. This continued until 5th January 2003.

The Nick Jr. Kuboia television channel was launched on 6th January 2003, the same day as sister channel Nick Go! Airing everyday from 4:00a.m. to 8:00p.m., the channel used the same branding the UK version of the channel adapted the previous year.

Like the other Nickelodeon channels in Kuboia, Nick Jr. Kuboia received a major (and unannounced) update on 31st October, 2005:
 * The channel updated a new ident packaging adapted by the UK version earlier that year.
 * Some of its programming was dropped in favour of new programming.

Closure
In September 2009, it was announced that all Nickelodeon and Viacom-related television channels in Kuboia would cease transmissions by 2011. On 28th April 2010, it was later announced that Nick Jr. Kuboia would be the last of the channels to close, in the beginning of September that year. In August, however, the close got delayed to December for unknown reasons. Nick Jr. Kuboia ceased transmissions on 5th December 2010 at 10:57p.m., after an episode of Bod.

A television channel which launched in 2012, called Sumkids Network, airs a lot of the programming aired on Nick Jr. in countries outside of Kuboia, and can be seen as an unofficial successor to Nick Jr. Kuboia, despite being owned by a different company.

Segments
On 11th August, 2003, the channel began to be split into different segments depending on the time of day.
 * From 6:00a.m. to 9:00a.m., the channel used a Morning theme.
 * From 11:00a.m. to 1:00p.m., the channel used a Lunchtime theme. This was generally when shows like Blue's Clues and Dora the Explorer aired.
 * From 3:00p.m. to 7:00p.m., the channel unofficially went under the name Nick Jr. in the Afternoon.
 * From 7:00p.m. to 8:00p.m., the channel began to use a night theme, with the music video for the popular Bedtime Business theme song playing during most advertisement breaks, and before the channel closed for the night. Unlike the other segments, this was introduced in January, rather than August.

Aside from Lunchtime and Bedtime Businsss, the themes were absent on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.

These segments were dropped on 31st October, 2005, except for Lunchtime, which got a different look. Bedtime Business was succeeded by The Jimmer Jammers.
