Maybe she could do with an extra nap in the day.
Sleep encourages more sleep.

Maybe she's hungry?

Is she touching or pulling her ear and crying? Does she have a temperature?

Ear infection hurts more when lying down, common in small children

She wakes up happy and just wants to play no signs of been ill. I've tried to put her down for another nap but she wont have it

If your daughter is not unwell, I’d get her up change her, no talk, no games and put her straight back into her bed. This waking has become a habit, she needs to learn night times are for sleeping. She probably won’t be too impressed to be put straight back to bed! Stay strong, it won’t take too many nights for her to settle.

Too hot? Thirsty? That is why I have been waking up.

OP, there's a parenting board on here - may get more responses from that

During the day try to ensure she has the opportunity to burn off some energy , a trip to the park ( sorry I’m not in Uk , if that’s where you are ,so unsure of social restrictions) ideally towards the end of the day .
Get a good evening routine going , one that winds down so she is settled and relaxed as her bedtime approaches .
Keep the temperature in her bedroom at a comfortable level .
If she wakes in the night , go in to change her , keeping the lights low , talk as little as possible , and keep it quiet and calm when you do .Interact with her as little as possible .

If she cries when you leave the room wait a few minutes before going back in , wait at the door and try to settle her from there , talking quietly but firmly , reiterating it’s time for sleep now . If she cries again when you leave the room wait slightly longer before returning and repeat . It may take a night or two but as @Onthemaintrunkline says it’s just a habit . She’ll soon get back on track

Is she getting enough stimulation during the day? Maybe try increasing her physical activities to tire her out more.
