It depends what time you need them to be up in the morning. I'm a teacher and during term time my 2 year old needs to be up by 6:30am, so I like to get her to bed as close to 7pm as possible - although it's frequently much closer to 8pm due to long days at work. However, the side effect of that means she still naps for 1-2 hours after lunch.
At weekends, during holidays and whilst I'm on maternity leave with my 2nd baby, my husband would rather we get a lie-in in the mornings and so her bedtime is closer to 8pm and she often sleeps until 7:30am, whilst still keeping her afternoon nap.
Hope that helps
