I think 11 or 12 is fine. My parents didn't let me stay at my house for any period of time alone until I was 16. That basically ruined my social life until then and made me feel like my parents didn't trust me (they didn't). I had never did anything wrong, got constant good grades, and never been in trouble. It made me feel like crap that they didn't trust me. I even have a twin brother, and with BOTH of us there, there's really nothing that could have went wrong. If your daughter shows maturity and has never been a trouble maker, then I'd say 11 or 12 is fine.
