Toddler not going to sleep at bedtime

Ds is 2.3 and has started really messing about at bedtime. He used to be brilliant at just going to sleep once I left the room, but now we're up and down the stairs multiple times for up to an hour. I hate it - I want an evening to relax and eat my dinner in bloody peace!

I'm wondering whether we need to drop the nap. At the moment ds schedule is roughly:

6-6.30am wakes
12-2pm nap
7pm bedtime

I don't want bedtime to be later because I'm always in bed by 9 and I need those couple of hours of child free time. Im guessing the daytime sleep is the issue? He gets lots of fresh air and physical activity every day so I think things are fine from that point of view.

Any thoughts?!

Thanks, that's what I was thinking re. the gro clock so good to hear it works! They are on eBay fairly cheaply so might do that so I'm not wasting too much money if it doesn't work.
