Most importantly, healthy parents. Make sure the parents have a balanced diet of seed, fresh food (vegetables like carrots and lettuce are good, and hard boiled egg is an excellent source of protein), and constant clean water. You can provide them with vitamins as well. Babies also need a good nest- get a sturdy nest, and provide the parents with good nesting material (ex., tissue paper, cotton balls, grass- but avoid string, it can get wrapped around birds feet) the parents will line the nest themselves.
I'd also recommend keeping them warm- cover the cage with a towel at night, if it gets cold where you live.


Other than that, the best thing to do is let the parents do their work- zebras are usually excellent parents. Still, if you plan on seriously breeding finches, get a book fully explaining the subject.
