The constituency was made up of the following electoral wards:
1 Further to a local government boundary review in Erewash which became effective in May 2015, [3] the Stanley ward was merged into Little Eaton and Breadsall which was renamed Little Eaton and Stanley.
Following the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which came into effect for the 2024 general election, the constituency was expanded by adding the South West Parishes ward in the Borough of Amber Valley (as it existed on 1 December 2020), transferred from Derbyshire Dales. [4]
Following local government boundary reviews in Amber Valley [5] [6] and Derby [7] [8] which came into effect in May 2023, the constituency now comprises the following:

Note: This constituency was a notional hold in 2010, as it would likely have been won by the Conservatives in 2005 had it existed then. This is despite the fact all of the wards were actually within constituencies that Labour held in 2005.
