Why are they in pots? They should be in the ground outside. If you keep them in the house, especially if the heating is on, they will dry out like that. Is there some space outside in the garden?
Any plants kept indoors will show brown tips on leaves like that if they dry out. For house plants you would need to use a misting device, but those definitely need to go out.

Ok, maybe there is a nutrient deficiency. I suggest a feed with tomorite. That has calcium and some boron in it, as well as other stuff. Make sure you stick very carefully to the instructions on the pack, and good luck. Let us know how it goes ok :)

Could still be a water problem, even in pots outside, the bigger the pot the more stable the temperature and moisture content, and those don't look huge, on the other hand a feed with Tomorite won't do any harm. I sometimes feed thing with a weaker solution than they suggest, but don't ever make it stronger.

Can you still put them outside, perhaps in several larger pots? Strawberry's can grow very well that way.
