I know it sounds like a dream come true, but my son likes his sleep a little too much. He will gladly doze off on his playmat even when I am playing with him, when he has only been awake half an hour or so. The problem is that it stops us getting into a daytime routine as his naps are initiated by him rather than by me putting him down in his basket. Also, he will tend to go for too long in the afternoon without a nap and then is impossible to settle. He's not over warm and he gets plenty of sleep at night. Any ideas?

He's too young for a routine. Let him have his own natural sleep pattern for at least a few more weeks. Go with it.

Definitely leave him to it. If he can tune out people playing with him on a playmat and go to sleep, he is destined to become a great sleeper, IME.
