when's it safe to peep in the nest box or is best left alone

hi everyone

As many of you are aware i have blue tits nesting on my balcony I don't know if there are eggs in there or if they have hatched The male has started constantly flitting back and forth with little caterpillars and occasionally the female leaves the box too I've opened the window to try and listen to see if i can hear any chicks but too no avail 

I would like to know is there a safe way to peep without disturbing them or is it just best to leave them alone I most certainly don't want to frighten them off but am very curious 

Kindest regards 

Kimbo
