I'd try to create some shade and def. be sure there is water, as pipar suggests, but try hard not to upset the mom.  Any possibility of running a sprinkler somewhat nearby or would that just make things too humid (plus scare mama)?  Cats were originally desert animals, so things might be OK.  Be sure there isn't a flea issue in your yard if you can.

Good luck!

I'd leave them alone until you can observe momma cat, from a distance she'll feel comfortable about.  See how she's caring for them.

While momma is out getting food, put a bowl of water there for her.  If you want to get them better shade, try draping a tarp over the fence and bush.

See if there is a feral cat rescue group in your area, see if they can intervene.

i'm not sure moving them could upset momma. are they safe there? sounds shaded if by a bush....is the momma cat friendly or afraid of you?
If she is really feral (wild) and you move the nest she may not return and care for the babies..but if she isn't spooked with you around than a move may be possible, but only if you can find a safe place for them all.
bless you for trying....♥
