It's a bit blurry on the pic, but they look like aphids - greenfly maybe?
If so, you can squish them daily between your fingers if you aren't squeamish - or perhaps that's a job for the children!! Taking care not to squish plant material.
Or you can spray/gently rinse off with a mild soap solution - like for instance very diluted washing up liquid. And then clear water. That would not mean any danger to people eating the strawberries.
