HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may want to consider speaking to your daughter and the children's father to find out how they are managing in caring for the children.
In addition if you can arrange to speak separately with the children it would be helpful. You can assess their appearance to see if they appear well cared for and also speak to them to find out if there are any issues.
If you feel further attention or monitoring of the situation is needed then you can involve social services.
I hope this helps and wish you and the children the best
