We characterise the compact composition operators from any Mobius invariant Banach space to VMOA, the space of holomorphic functions on the unit disk U that have vanishing mean oscillation. We use this to obtain a characterisation of the compact composition operators from the Bloch space to VMOA. Finally, we study some properties of hyperbolic VMOA functions. We show that a function is hyperbolic VMOA if and only if it is the symbol of a compact composition operator from the Bloch space to VMOA.
