Dumbledad,
fanfiction.net will let you search by rating, but the quality is
really hit or miss. A while back there was a thread in Fiction Alley
Park about good G-Rated fics, you can find it here:

Narcissa Malfoy has some excellent G-rated recs on her Live Journal

IMO, GoF and PoA are really PG-13. You will find a lot of fanfics
with that rating that are just as tame as PoA or GoF. PG-13 is a
wide range and there are some who rate their fics PG-13 instead of
PG because they think no one will read PG or G and there are some
who really should be caling their PG-13 fics R. So, if a fic looks
like it might be interesting, but is PG-13, go ahead and read it
first. You may find perfectly fine PG-13 fics out there you can
share with your daughter. Since so many fics have to do with
romance (of all ratings), the bigger challenge may actually be
finding fics that aren't full of sappy romance a ten year old
probably wouldn't be interested in.
Best of luck!
