Is 7:45 - 5:30 every day too much?

I start a new job in a couple of weeks, however it means that dd 7 will be in wraparound care every day from 7:45-5:30 every weekday. I'm now stressing that that's too much for her? I have no family or anyone else to have her but she does get tired generally. She's usually shattered after a normal week at school. I don't know what my other options are exactly but is this normal? Is that how much kids her age are in childcare? I'm not being precious or anything I'm just really anxious as it's a big upheaval for us both and I feel like she's getting the short straw here...

This is a 7 YEAR OLD. Not a small child in nursery.

Both mine did before and after school clubs at that age. They loved the before school club because they got a better breakfast than they did at home and were mostly okay with the after school club (but tired).

Completely normal. Don't dwell on it
