Well looks like some pests got to it, this is pretty normal and I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

Some type of pest or bug ate it because it only affected one leaf

It is probably pests they love strawberries. try planting something like Marigolds, Onions, Garlic, etc around them. Strong odors keep pests away.
