First thing, did she build a nest? Second thing, make sure she has unlimited food and water (hay and pellets), as she needs the extra nutrition and hydration while lactating.
Others with more experience can chime in, but you want to minimize disturbing her at first, but you will need to check the babies to remove any that have died.
If she has already built a nest, I believe you can provide a nest box and she may move into it.
And yes, definitely keep them where they are, in the same cage, until the babies are weaned. Not sure about play time…. someone else will have to chime in. It probable will depend on your set up, because you won’t want her to be separated from her babies.
