It's because off usually nose pick and dry and hot weather.
Pinched the nose for 3 to 5 min with sneezing position and once bleeding stop then start Nasivion nasal drops

Could be because of summers
Ask to avoid nose picking
Can use botroclot drops and pinch the nose for around 1-2 with face leaning forward while it bleeds and ask to breathe from mouth
Take ent opinion to look for some local cause

It's known to occur during summer time.
Make the child sit forward in "sniffing position".
You can use cold compression without applying too much pressure
Keep your child well hydrated
You should tell your child not to pick her nose
Next Steps
If it persists inspite of the above see your Pediatrician for evaluation
