To the OP: DESS preferences British passport holders as it is sponsored by the British embassy and is community school for British children.
Limelemon--Check the website, but I recall the first day of accepted applications for the preschool (3 years) being at the start of January. Make sure you submit your application on the very very very first day applications are accepted. Otherwise your chances, even with a British passport, are incredibly slim. Most preschooler spots are taken up by siblings of children already in the school, so that only leaves a handful of spots for new families.
The next step is an interview/assessment, when the children and their parents are taken in groups to the preschool classrooms. Basically they play and chat with the teachers for about 30 minutes.

Good luck.
