    You are not going to get a proper diagnosis here, especially with how little you've given.

    From what you've described though I would guess the child doesn't have ADHD after spending a summer looking after a girl with it.

    My first thought would be the childminder is too soft

    Sound like a normal 7 year old boy, is he allowed to run around outside with friends play sword fights and cops an robbers, that what most of us did as kids to expend energy young boy aggression.

    Here is not the place to ask.
    Go and request an assessment of needs if you are worried but if the school have not flagged it yet then I would not worry.
