If a toddler shout or throw things how you guys will manage it? Or if he hit his head to the wall or ground?
When my toddler throws things I tell her “No thank you! You need to be gentle with the toys you can break it or hurt someone.” Then if she starts playing with the toy nicely I tell her “good job, that’s how you play with the car” etc. If she does it again, I repeat. 3rd time, okay all done, it’s time to pick something else, you are not being gentle with this toy- take toy away and don’t give it back until the afternoon and when you do let them know if they throw it, you will take it, no warning.
For hitting his head of course intervene as he could really hurt himself. I had a boy (age 2) he used to bang his head on the ground out of anger. I would talk to Him, let him know that will hurt you and it makes you sad when he does that. Also talk to the parents about him banging his head- not good.

Discipline stems from the word disciple and means to teach, not punish!

You start when they start doing things they shouldn't. When a baby reaches for glasses/jewelry/hair, you move the baby's hand away and say "No pulling," while handing the baby a toy. It's enforcing a limit and redirecting to an appropriate outlet.
If you are asking about what age to start a discipline method, it varies by child, family and nanny. I'm comfortable with most non-corporal methods, but I tend to mix positive discipline into whatever the family uses. Positive discipline relies on a connection between adult and child, and the adult needs to be able to get down to the child's level and understand the issue to help them work out how to solve the issue. However, I'm also anti-tantrum (like most nannies!), and depending on the child, tantrums are either ignored or the child is carried to their room to calm down.
No matter what, you need something in place by 2. If you don't, you will be scrambling to figure it out then, and your child will not have the safety and mental security of knowing what is allowed and what isn't.

Discipline.
I set boundaries very young and, as a nanny, never needed to discipline.
