Default Strawberries under cover?

I've just planted a new bed of strawberries which I have taken from a couch grass iinfested bed!
After planting up a good sized bed and heaping straw around plants as a mulch and to keep the wind off them, I still have loads of plantlets left.

Winter will see my greenhouses pretty much devoid of plantlife so I have thought about potting the plantlets up into 6" pots and overwintering them in the greenhouse! Is this a good idea and will I get an early crop, or do they need to be exposed to the elements to fruit well!
