No… it’s a fire hazard.

You can not put an electric blanket under a mattress protector, not only because it is a fire hazard. But in time the coils will wear more so that they can start to break, if your child wets the bed there is a possibility of shock, not to mention that, if the temperature gets to high, your daughter will over heat, sweat and add to the possibility of getting shocked. I would buy a heated mattress protected pad to go over the mattress, it is designed for that, the coils are protected in water proof material and better suited for the purpose your have in mind.
