Congratulations on making your decision! I found that being ready to home ed early on was a bonus: no anguish over whether my children would be ready "in time" at the standard age for nursery or school, no rush to prepare them e.g. dropping naps or trying to get them to master coat buttons, remember to ask for the toilet without prompting and all that.
Your child can do nursery or not, depending whether you think they'd benefit from it, and if they try it and don't like it you can take them out again. So you don't have to stress over pushing independence from you and mixing in large groups if that doesn't suit them yet.
I suggest getting in with your local home ed community now. Even if you don't feel the need for group activities and play just yet, it's good to know they are there and feel part of a community. My eldest went through a lonely phase when all their toddler group friends moved on to nursery and no longer had time to play, plus I think the parents felt their child had had enough opportunities to socialise during their nursery hours and the parents no longer prioritised playdates. That took us by surprise as we had somehow envisioned those friendships continuing for longer.
It's also nice for the child, when they are old enough to be asked, "Aren't you going to nursery/school?" to feel that there's something positive that they ARE doing. So my eldest used to respond, "No, I go to my music group and home ed swimming and park days instead."
Facebook is currently the main way to find local home ed families. Go to the FB search bar and type "home education" followed by the name of your town or nearest big town or county and you will find a group. Most allow and encourage parents to join long before their children reach "school age" and sometimes people organise things like soft play or park play specially for the little ones, so they and their parents can make friends.
Have fun!
