Consult this answer. There's a great chart linked which contains information about suggested sleep patterns for children of different ages.

Remember that each child is different. If he is healthy and you are comfortable with his sleep pattern, perhaps there is no need to change anything.

I'd consider waking him up earlier, his nap should be finished by 4 PM so that he can more easily fall sleep in the evening. He has trouble with that, hasn't he?

Don't worry about it. Toddler sleep patterns vary widely, and if he's sleeping OK during the night plus happy when he's awake, all is good.

However, I have a sneaky suspicion that waking up at 6pm means he's still up and bouncing away late into the night? If yes, for your own sanity, you might try your luck at keeping him up in the morning and merging the two naps into one longer post-lunch nap, which is the usual pattern expected by most child care places etc.
