If my relationship ended and I ended up bringing up a child that is not biologically mine but the child sees me as 'mum', would I have any rights that would prevent one of the biological parents taking the child away?

I suspect from your question (which raises large and complex issues) that you should be thinking along the lines of obtaining a special guardianship order.
