How good are mice at finding their children?

I was helping neighbors clean around their pool when I moved a tarp aside and found a nest with five baby mice nearby. I wasn't sure what to do, so I moved them to a shaded spot before having to leave for a couple of hours. When I came back I saw a mouse, presumably the mother, bolting around the pool deck where the tarp had been. It ran off the deck and into the nearby bushes shortly after I arrived. I quickly grabbed the babies and moved them to the bush that the mother had disappeared into. Is it likely the mother will be able to find the babies and the nest? They're about ten feet from where the tarp was originally.
