I am trying to nest one block inside another block but the child block isn't showing when I set custom block type.

If I set both blocks as page/html then both blocks show fine:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
 <mobilemenu_index_index>
 <block type="page/html" name="root" output="toHtml" template="company_mobilemenu/test_page.phtml">
 <block type="page/html" name="company_mobilemmenu" template="company_mobilemenu/menu.phtml" />
 </block>
 </mobilemenu_index_index>
</layout>

But when I declare my custom block type so that I can use the custom block methods the block doesn't show.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
 <mobilemenu_index_index>
 <block type="page/html" name="root" output="toHtml" template="company_mobilemenu/test_page.phtml">
 <block type="mobilemenu/mobilemenublock" name="company_mobilemmenu" template="company_mobilemenu/menu.phtml" />
 </block>
 </mobilemenu_index_index>
</layout>

I have made this file: app/code/local/Company/MobileMenu/Block/MobileMenuBlock.php that has this contents:

<?php
class Company_MobileMenu_Block_MobileMenuBlock extends Mage_Core_Block_Template

 public function getNestedMenu()
 
 return 'nested menu goes here';
 

In my config.xml I register it like so:

<config>
 <modules>
 <Company_MobileMenu>
 <version>0.1.0</version>
 </Company_MobileMenu>
 </modules>
 <global>
 <blocks>
 <mobilemenu>
 <class>Company_MobileMenu_Block</class>
 </mobilemenu>
 </blocks>
 </global>
 <frontend>
 <routers>
 <mobilemenu>
 <use>standard</use>
 <args>
 <module>Company_MobileMenu</module>
 <frontName>mobilemenu</frontName>
 </args>
 </mobilemenu>
 </routers>
 <layout>
 <updates>
 <mobilemenu>
 <file>company_mobilemenu.xml</file>
 </mobilemenu>
 </updates>
 </layout>
 </frontend>
</config>

What am I doing wrong with custom block registration?

change type="mobilemenu/mobilemenublock" to type="mobilemenu/mobileMenuBlock"
