Am I safe to drive with this warning light on?

Hi everyone, I have a 1.2L 2011 Volkswagen Polo and earlier on today my check engine light came on. It was just lit up it wasn’t flashing or anything like that. The car itself is operating normally from what I can see, no weird smells or sounds or signs of backfiring. The only thing I’ve noticed is reduced power for acceleration at 70mph, only slightly though. I haven’t looked at the car or the engine because I wouldn’t have a clue what to look for in all honesty.

But I’d like to ask a few things, the earliest I can take the car to the garage is Wednesday. And I need to drive to and forth from work on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday morning, it’s about 10 miles and mostly motorway driving, will I be okay to do this and are there any considerations or precautions I need to take?

Also if I was to take this to a reasonable UK garage, what would be the expected costs including labour to get it fixed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
