It depends on the kids. My DS stopped taking naps as soon as he turned 2. He wouldn't have anything to do with them. My DD stopped napping while in Preschool around 4 yrs old.
Just take your cue from your kid. They will lay down when they want and if it is a late nap then don't let her sleep past a half hour at most.

My son never did, and my daughter is 5 and if I can get her to lay down long enough, she'll sleep for hours.
It depends on the child, I'd say.
