Hi 3 fleadged yesterday but I noticed the parents stopped feeding the babies ? There all begging for food but not getting feed . What should I do ? I closed the nest box so they can concentrate on the babies but that didn't help.

Open the nest box and put the babies back in. Some new parents take a while to realise they have to go to the babies, not just the nest box. If the babies do not stay in the nest box you may have to hold your hand over it for a bit till they settle. Good luck.

Sorry, should have said. Doing this on dark is the most effective time to have it work. And yes, they are not always very co-operative. Good luck.
