I relalise it will damage my seedling roots but, my question is, what if it eats all the worms! I live in Northamptonshire. If anyone can please help, I am fairly new to this, my second season. Many thanks

Oh crumbs, I only know the best way to get rid of moles humanly is to place those children's windmills on top of their tunnels. The vibration is what puts moles off.
The soil that they push up is great for seeds! Not much consolation I know.
Alternatively, I personally would lift up all the nearby seedlings, replant elsewhere, or grow in big pots, growbags, potato bags, anything, to get it out of the way of the moles.
Don't worry about the worms, they will soon multiply, especially as the moles have aerated the soil for you, which is what worms need to multiply!
