Personally, I start trying one nap every other day.....around 10 or 11 months. By the time they are 1 yr old, they are pretty well used to napping only once.
When specifically is different for each kid (depending on their sleep styles) but when I do begin the transition, I discuss it with the parent so they can support the efforts at home too.... It works much more smoothly when parents and I transition to "big kid" stuff at roughly the same time.
Normally I don't care what parents do at home but transition periods always work better when we work together towards the same goal.
