i don't / didn't ask permission to give sweets. i tell parents that whilst i don't give many sweets, they are occaisonally given to the children as part of a normal healthy diet.
i did have one parent who said she would rather her child had raisons, and i told her that they have as much sugar as sweets, and stick to the teeth much better
the younger children would only have a couple of sweets.
(nor do i ask specific permission for outings! i have it covered in my general permission and then i tell the parents we are going! (and sometimes i don't tell them till after the event ! some of my trips out are spur of the moment!)
