It's best to leave it as she'll just rebuild whilst she's still feeling hormonal and that usually means plucking out more fur too. If you give her a couple of days she'll give up/ignore it and you can clean out then 
Might be worth chatting to your neighbours about neutering - you can probably find a leaflet download to give them to if you think that would help.

Usually it is only unspayed Does who nest. Very occasionally spayed Does and neutered Bucks may nest too. But that *might* indicate another type of health problem relating to the Adrenal Gland.

It's not cruel to clean out the nest once she has lost interest in it.
It's usually only unsprayed does that nest. Very rarely spayed ones. You could do as Tamsin suggests and download a leaflet which would explain the benefits of spaying their doe :thumb:
