Welcome!
You won't know at first, she may be a good mom, or a lousy mom, based on what I have read on the forums. That is not really comforting, probably, but there is just so very much variation of behavior with ducks. Watch closely, be ready to scoop up the babies into a brooder, but let us hope and pray that she turns out to be a good momma.
What breed is she? Other members of the flock around? Are she and the babies separated for safety? Are they in a predator proof area?
