Child framing answer perfectly (2,1,1)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

to a t

'perfectly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'child framing answer' is the subsidiary indication.
'child' becomes 'tot' (tot is a kind of child).
'framing' is an insertion indicator.
'answer' becomes 'a' (abbreviation e.g. in Q&A).
'tot' going around 'a' is 'toat'.

(Other definitions for to a t that I've seen before include "In every detail" , "Exactly right" , "perfectly well" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
