Registration for all year groups is 8.40-8.50am.  Finish times are as follows:

Nursery : 2.50pm (15 or 30 hours per week)

Reception : 3pm (31 hours, 40 minutes per week)

Year 1 & 2 : 3.10pm (32 hours, 30 minutes per week)

At Cavendish Close Infants we celebrate attendance with the children by awarding certificates, stickers and prizes.

We are unable to authorise term time holidays unless they fit Derby City Council’s criteria of “Exceptional Circumstances”.   If parents choose to take holidays during term time, the absences will be unauthorised, and parents could incur a fine of £60 per week, per child, per parent.  You can download the form here:
