Personally I think each child is different re sleep and bedtimes, just like each adult.
5 year old DS told me tonight he was too tired for a story or any reading and that was at 7pm and he just got into bed and zonked out (bit of a full on weekend) but another night he might be okay to stay up until 8pm.
"Everything in moderation" springs to mind.

my 5 and 6 year old go up at 7ish (normally) and hopefully, they are asleep by 8. If they are really tired, it's nearer 7.30 but otherwise, it's quite often nearer 8.30.

As tomorrow is a school day (have just had half=term) my dd was in bed at 7.30.

Occasionally she goes to bed at 7 and reads/mumbles to herself. Other days it's 8pm.

But she needs 11/12 hours sleep on average.
