I believe the answer is:

sherwood forest

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tuck in here' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'fresh food and shower before nap?' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates an anagram (a fresh re-ordering of the letters).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'nap?' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this in another clue).
'food' after 'shower' is 'showerfood'.
'showerfood' anagrammed gives 'sherwoodfo'.
'sherwoodfo'+'rest'='SHERWOOD FOREST'

Can you help me to learn more?
