my 3 1/2 yr old has a day sleep of about 2 hours everyday and he goes to bed at 7 and sleeps till about 6- 6.30 . I dont think your little one sleeps too much, they all just have different patterns!!
My 3y9m DD1 has a 45min afternoon sleep at childcare (not at home though Grrr!) and she sleeps from 7.30pm to 7am most nights. I think they generally do still need about 12 hours a day in sleep at that age although there are are always exceptions.
My 3 1/2 DD still has a couple of hours sleep at about 12:30. (If I keep her up she is usually pretty nasty by tea time). DD2 usually wakes about 5:30-6am and all DD's are in bed by 7pm.
All kids do their own thing. DD1 used to be in bed early, sleep in and still have a lunchtime sleep!! Ah, those were the days.......I'd say enjoy your sleep in's: we no longer get them very often in our household!
My DD is 3 3/4 and has a two hour nap in the afternoons (from about 1pm-3pm). She doesn't nap at preschool (two days a week) and is often so tired the following day that she'll sleep over three hours. She goes to bed 7:30-8pm and is awake around 6:30-7am.
I also look after another boy (same age) every Friday, and while his Mum has little success getting him to nap he goes down without fail at my place for two hours, same as DD. Doesn't seem to affect him going to bed that night. He will do it some days for Mum too.
