How do I care for a bird nest on my front door (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

So turns out a bird has decided to use the choppings from my flowers and plants that did not survive the winter as nesting, and they decided the front door wreath was the best spot. There are eggs in it which I think are recent because the first time I noticed the nest it was empty, so I'm hoping I get to see baby birds. Problem is, it's at my front door, and I don't have another entrance/exit. Any suggestions? Is it safe enough for it to be there?

This is in WA and I believe are finches of some sort?

A long update:

I did some diy and got my sliding door replaced to use a locked keyhole instead.

They have since left the nest, but I see some of the now grown birds every so often

I have moved the existing bird nest over to the side next to the window in case they ever want to come back
