Where's the best place to start to improve my file.

Hi I've just recieved my credit report after being turned down for a loan. I'm a single mum working full time and earing £22000 a year, I pay £83 Nursery fees a week of which I get £73 back from Child Credit Tax.

When I was with my ex partner (of 11 years) we spent money like it was going out of fashion and most things were in my name, as you can see from below nearly all is paid for. I'm now trying to be sensible for my daughters future.

I want to get out of the loop of using high APR loan companies and get a loan to do some repairs to my car, get my washer repaired and go camping wth my daughter then hopefully once (if) the housing market has settled look into buying my council home as security for me and my daughter.

Any advice on improving my credit would be fantastic, I get no support from my daughters dad and no chance of getting any CSA due to him always moving around.

Not sure if I'm putting this in a format you'll understand but here goes!
