I am a single mother with two young children under five. I recently asked my employer to allow me to work one day a week at home. This would be quite possible but he has refused to even consider it. Do I have any rights?

You have the right to ask for flexible working conditions because you have a child under the age of six. Your employer is legally obliged to give your request serious consideration providing you have worked for your employer or at least 26 weeks.
