Brief Answer:
It seems she is suffering from cyclical vomiting.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Vomiting occurring in the same way everyday suggests cyclical vomiting.
It may be psychogenic if the organic causes are excluded.
Gastro oesphageal reflux may present like this.

Any way she needs thorough investigation and proper treatment.
Perinorm syrup, ondem syrup or phenergan syrup may help.

It is wise to consult pediatrician as soon as possible.

Hope this answer will serve your purpose
